TRUMBULL, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TV Rheinland, a leading quality and safety standards certifier, has formed a critical new partnership with Questionmark, the online assessment provider. Together they will ensure that over 30,000 global workers have the skills and knowledge to do their jobs, despite the challenges of Covid-19. To do their jobs effectively, people working in a wide variety of sectors including healthcare, food safety, industrial plants and management systems, must be able to demonstrate that their skills and competencies are up to date. To do this, each year 30,000 people complete one of TV Rheinlands 750 certification programs. The introduction of stringent social-distancing measures earlier in the year created huge challenges to how training could be delivered and knowledge could be assessed. TV Rheinland created an online certification hub which enables participants to complete training in a virtual classroom. Thanks to the partnership with Questionmark, candidates can sit their assessments in a secure online exam environment. Conducting assessments online can save employers and individuals both time and money because it eliminates the need to travel to test centers. As such, TV will continue to assess certifications online when the crisis is over, increasing the scale and scope of its global certification offer. TV Rheinland currently offers assessments in 38 different languages. Working with Questionmark has enabled TV Rheinland to increase the scale of its offer by: Susan Martin, Global Head of PersCert from TV Rheinland said: In a fast-moving world, being able to demonstrate technical competency matters more than ever. Whether working in healthcare, food safety, industrial plants or management systems, staff must be able to demonstrate their competence and knowledge. Employers must, in turn, be able to show this competence to customers and stakeholders. If these certifications had stopped when social-distancing measures made it challenging to assess competency and knowledge, it could have left thousands of workers without the skills to do their jobs. Because we are working with Questionmark, our test-takers from anywhere in the world can participate at a time that suits them. Invigilation or proctoring measures mean that everyone can be confident in the result. Lars Pedersen, CEO of Questionmark said: To take advantage of new business opportunities across the world, credentialing organizations must move quickly. Our platform provides a one-stop-shop solution. Content is easily authored and can be quickly translated. E-commerce and badging can be managed through the platform. Tests are instantly marked and results are easy to analyze. www.tuv.com www.questionmark.com Ends Notes to editors For more information: US: Kristin Bernor, external relations: Kristin.bernor@questionmark.com 203.349.6438 UK: James Boyd-Wallis: james.boyd-wallis@fourteenforty.uk 07793 021 607 AU/NZ: Oliver Scott: oliver.scott@questionmark.com +61 2 8073 0527 About Questionmark Questionmark provides a secure enterprise-grade assessment platform and professional services to leading organizations around the world, delivered with care and unequalled expertise.
