Certification Matters

Studies show that professionals obtaining digital skills and software certifications can:

• advance their careers
• make more money
• market a recognized level of competency

For students, certification results can provide evidence they possess the digital skills required for many of today’s jobs.

We Can Put Your Students on a Path to Certification

We have partnered with Isograd^™, an internationally-recognized assessment and certification provider of Microsoft application skills. Together, we offer your students a cost-effective and accessible means to the internationally-recognized TOSA^® (Test on Software Applications) certification.

TOSA is the only standard to assess and certify desktop proficiency with a score that measures proficiency levels from beginner to expert.

TOSA certifications are adaptive and quantify exactly what a student knows. Instead of simple pass or fail exams, TOSA provides a ranking level and a score from 1 to 1,000 to clearly identify the student’s true level of proficiency.

Cirrus and TOSA Work Together

Using these two side-by-side, students access real-world opportunities to build and test their Excel skills though live-in-the-application exercises, projects, and assessments.

Unlike with simulations, Cirrus and TOSA pre- and post- assessments offer students a unique integrated learning solution, helping them develop skills mastery and preparing them for certification.

See How It Works

Cirrus and TOSA give your students the opportunity to learn essential Excel skills and take an internationally-recognized certification exam.

Your students will:

1. Take a TOSA pre-assessment to evaluate digital skills competencies.
2. Consume auto-graded, instructional content in Cirrus.
3. Complete a TOSA post-assessment to test their comprehension.
4. Take the TOSA certification exam.
