In an Information Technology fast evolving market which provides many employment possibilities, the educational partnership strategy adopted by SUPINFO to integrate official certifications in its curriculum provides students with real opportunities.
Thanks to the partnerships, the school is equipped with tools and means usually only available to computing training professionals. Expensive equipment and software are readily available to students without restrictions. The teachers’ training and their monitoring guarantee that competencies are up-to-date and in adequacy with the needs of the market throughout the years. The documentary resources and teaching aids available are essential to ensure the command of the technologies taught (CD-ROM, videos, multi-media courses, exercises, online tests, etc.). Students short-listed by their teachers, can take independent official professional certifications (free of charge) which will constitute a differentiating advantage on their curriculum vitae.
These certifications are widely recognized and sought after by companies which are thus certain to recruit professionals immediately operational on the technologies they require. Indeed, students who hold one or more professional certifications find it easier to secure an internship or a job and usually enjoy a better salary. Let us add that most of the companies who participate in SUPINFO’s certification strategy (Cisco, Microsoft ou Oracle) include students in an international directory which lists all certified professionals and is a reference for recruiting companies worldwide.
All SUPINFO students must also pass the TOEIC test : The “Test of English for International Communication” (TOEIC) is used to measure and certify the level of proficiency in English within a professional context. This test was created in 1979 by Educational Testing Services (ETS), a psychometric research and development centre based in Priceton, United States. ETS compiles tests in collaboration with the educational and professional sectors (TOEFL, GMAT, etc.)
Since 1996, the TOEIC has been administrated and managed in Europe by the Chauncey Group International, a subsidiary company specializing in the development of ETS tests. Present in over 66 countries, the TOEIC is recognized globally. Thanks to a partnership signed between SUPINFO and The Chauncey Group, all our students can take their exam each year and thus improve on their score. Today, SUPINFO is an authorized TOEIC Administrator Centre and is therefore able to organize the training and tests directly on campus.
