BANGALORE: Tata Infotech Education and Virtual University Enterprises (VUE)

have tied up to launch the electronic vendor certification exam. Through this

initiative, Tata Infotech Education will provide a platform for learning and

testing on the latest emerging technologies.

Tata Infotech’s head, education services division Rahul Thapan said, "Tata

Infotech Education believes that in this constantly evolving marketplace, people

need to keep re-skilling themselves to meet the Business and Technology needs of

the future. Our tie-up with VUE provides a platform for certifying the level of

knowledge that a person has attained. This platform has in-built unique security

features, ensuring the authenticity of the participant."

Employees undergo modular courses to upgrade their skills on a constant

basis. This program will focus on corporates who want to re-skill their

employees for specialized certifications, to counter the effect that the

recession has on the IT industry. The vendor certification exam is being offered

at Delhi, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Patna, and Ranchi. Tata Infotech proposes

to take this initiative forward to other locations through their Professional

Learning Centers (PLCs).

which enables round the clock testing facility, faster certification,

certification tracking by the candidate himself etc. VUE also enjoys exclusive

relationships with most of its vendors. The vendor certifications that Tata

Infotech Education is providing through VUE are from the top players in this

industry - Microsoft, CISCO, Comp TIA, IBM & Tivoli, Lucent Technologies,
