This prolific pace, which led to the delivery of the 4 millionth certification exam in January, currently amounts to 3,000 exams delivered daily. More than a corporate feat, these growing rates represent hundreds of thousands who have acquired digital skills through Certiport IC³® and Microsoft® Office Specialist credentials vital to career success and other life pursuits. "Our greatest satisfaction in recognizing this tremendous growth is the knowledge these programs have energized individuals and organizations to compete on a global level," said David Saedi, president and CEO of Certiport. "Perhaps more valuable to certificate holders than any other single asset, these credentials are the title to their marketable skills." Having already delivered 120,000 additional exams since January 26, the date the 4 million mark was surpassed, Certiport analysts project the next million will be reached in the first quarter of 2008, pushing Certiport certifications to the top of the league of certification providers.
