Munich, 07.07.2023 – Optimum Assessment, the expert in digital exams and certifications, has been allowed to count the Fraunhofer Institute for Person Certification (hereinafter referred to as Fraunhofer) among its partners since June 2023. Fraunhofer certifies in a variety of fields, both for career entry and professional growth.
Fraunhofer has opted for the Optimum Assessment Platform and thus for further digitization of its exams. Using state-of-the-art technology for the Optimum Assessment Platform, digital exams are not only safe, reliable and intuitive for examiners and participants, but also AVG-compliant and fully interactive. Nine powerful modules make it easy to design, host, monitor, grade and analyze exams.
Promoting technical and business education and training, in addition to applied research, is a central task of the Fraunhofer Society. Fraunhofer supports the Society’s various institutes with both organizational and personnel tools to ensure high-quality examinations and certifications for participants. Fraunhofer certifies qualifications according to the specifications of DIN EN ISO 17024. The certificates confirm objectively demonstrated competencies, relevant and innovative practical knowledge and practical experience in the respective training areas.
Important quality standards for a certification body in examinations and certifications, according to ISO 17024, are “objectivity,” “impartiality” and “non-discrimination.” This is ensured by Fraunhofer through a strict organizational and personnel separation between training, examination and certification. This enables the award of Fraunhofer certificates for participants in Fraunhofer courses.
Compliance with the standards is ensured by the German National Accreditation Authority (DAkkS). DAkks annually audits Fraunhofer’s work processes based on the requirements of ISO 17024, as well as the quality of examinations and certification services.
Ever since 1990, Optimum Assessment (until recently Citrus Andriessen) has distinguished itself with excellent technology and high-quality knowledge in the field of digital assessment, examination and certification. As a founder in digital assessment, we launched the first SaaS solution on the Dutch testing market some 30 years ago. A robust, secure and user-friendly assessment environment with over one million users per year. Meanwhile, we support the assessment domain with the modular and highly innovative Optimum Assessment Platform.
Our assessment system supports formative, summative and practice-based assessment. This makes Optimum Assessment Platform broadly applicable. Thus, for many years our assessment software has supported large (national) examination systems on the one hand and smaller professional certifications on the other. In addition, Optimum Assessment serves clients in areas as diverse as government, examination institutions, industries & professional associations, private and funded education. We are proud of our partners and actively invest in the relationship.
