IEEE Computer Society Value-Add
We have a flexible, building-block approach to learning, assessment, and certification
We work with top SMEs in the industry to help define and construct our programs
The internationally-accredited SWEBOK V3 (Version 3) is the foundation for our software development/engineering programs
Assessments can be customized to your unique needs, by knowledge area
Our software certifications measure both knowledge and skills; applied modules are used to assess skill levels with both Java and C available

About the Proxor Applied Exam Modules
The applied exam modules are powered by Proxor, a Carnegie Mellon University spin off, and use Authentic Examination TM
technology. They test the readiness of individuals to participate in the workforce as software professionals.
The examinee is provided with a system (base code), a set of tasks to be performed (fix defects or add functionality), professional tools, documentation and other support materials.
Exams are scored based on the ability to correctly complete the assigned tasks. Exams are scored as follows:
• 0 - Inconclusive Results • 1 - Beginner • 2 - Intermediate • 3 or 4 - Advanced
Each Applied Module is approximately 3 hours long and is offered in Java and/or C
Could be used with other SWEBOK certificate programs

About the Proxor Applied Modules (cont.)
Exams are scored based on the ability to correctly complete the assigned tasks. Exams are scored as follows:
• 0 - Inconclusive Results • 1 - Beginner • 2 - Intermediate • 3 or 4 - Advanced
A “0” score (inconclusive) results in the following:
– A PSDC candidate will instead earn the Software Development Associate Certification
– A PSEMC candidate will instead earn the PSEPMC certification
Employers can benefit from Proxor results by:
– Scores 0-2; identifying areas of weakness and provide training
– Scores 3-4; identify high performing employees
