EXIN and CIE: a Partnership on Certification as a Service (CaaS)

Since 2020, EXIN has offered Certification as Service (CaaS) to the market. With 40 years of certification experience and global recognition in the digital field, EXIN has always provided increasing value to different parties through top-notch certification programs.

In January 2022, EXIN reached an essential agreement with the Chinese Institute of Electronics (CIE) on Certification as Service (CaaS) regarding the CIE Junior Robotics Test System Certification Program. Such an agreement created a certification that includes a multi-level certification program that includes Robotics, Software Programming, Electronic Technology, 3D Creative Design, and UAV Technology. EXIN provides international recognition of the CIE Junior Robotics Test System Certification Program by issuing international certification with a digital badge. EXIN’s role has been to recognize this certification internationally, therefore allowing CIE students, parents, schools, and future employers to validate the certification at EXIN.

In this article, we want to thank the CIE for the great collaboration we’ve had so far – and stress the importance and benefits of the CaaS – Certification as a Service for companies and agencies in various industries – not only the digital one.

CaaS – Certification as a Service

The term Certification as a Service (CaaS) refers to a delivery model for certification services in which an organization outsources the administration and management of its certification program to a third-party provider. This service can encompass a variety of tasks, including exam development and administration, candidate registration, certification maintenance, and reporting.

The benefits of Certification as a Service

CaaS enables organizations to focus on their core business while outsourcing the management of their certification program to an expert in the field. This can provide significant benefits, including:

1. Increase the value and recognition of the certification;
2. Increased efficiency of operations;
3. Improved quality of the certification process;
4. Additionally, CaaS providers typically have the infrastructure and expertise to handle large-scale certification programs, which can be a challenge for organizations that need more resources to manage these programs in-house.

CaaS is becoming increasingly popular in a variety of industries, including information technology, healthcare, and finance, among others. It is particularly relevant for organizations that want to establish or maintain a certification program but need internal resources or expertise.

Overall, Certification as a Service is a flexible and cost-effective solution for organizations that want to provide certification to their employees or customers. It offers a range of benefits over traditional certification models.
