Are
Your People Gaining the Skills they
Need?
Deep Creek Center
recognizes that students who learn technology,
whether through traditional classroom or
e-learning methods, often are given rudimentary
exposure to new technologies, perhaps asked to
complete “labs” which consist of following
step-by-step instructions in a lab book, then
taking a post-test which tests their “book
knowledge” but seldom reflects their ability to
perform the work in the real world.
A
Better Way: ProveIT Lab
Assessments
ProveIT assessments
provide IT professionals and their employers
tools they can use to separate the real experts
with demonstrable skills from those people who
have “paper certifications.” For companies
gradually employing more and more e-learning,
ProveIT lab assessments can validate whether the
e-learning programs they have purchased are
helping their IT staff to gain the skills they
need to be successful in their jobs. Training
companies that produce highly skilled, competent
technical professionals can use ProveIT
assessments to show that their candidates are
better prepared than “paper” certificants to do
the job.
How
does it work?
ProveIT Lab
Assessments enable IT professionals and their
employers to validate developed skills and
experience in IT through rigorous, lab-based
assessments. Persons successfully completing a
ProveIT assessment validate their skills using
live equipment and realistic scenarios that test
the candidate’s ability to perform their skills
in the business context and adapt and apply
their skills to solve real-world
problems.
ProveIT
Lab Assessments are available for the following
IT Certifications
- A+

In addition,
we can custom design and deploy lab-based
assessments for your environment, that will test
your people on the skills they need to know to
be successful in your
organization.
Leverage your
Existing Infrastructure…or We’ll Come to

ProveIT Lab Assessments are
designed to be delivered in the same environment
that you would use for traditional IT classroom
training. If you’re already delivering classroom
