FYI ... Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC3)

The Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC3) is now more convenient to take thanks to Certiport’s new eServices, which are being offered through its newly launched Web site, www.certiport.com. The site contains the IC3 exam and other resources such as a career planner, PDF certificates, and digital transcripts that make becoming certified a more convenient process. The online exam reduces administration complexities and eliminates hardware budget barriers for the more than 3,000 testing centers in North America. Previously requiring dedicated workstations, IC3 exams now provide secure, proctored environments through a Web browser.
