ATLANTA, July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- MeasureUp Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Dice Inc., announced that MeasureUp has won a two-year contract with the
University of Dayton to equip the university with Microsoft Office Specialist
certification preparation tests.
The certification preparation tests are used as a part of University of
Dayton's free certification program, offered to students through an
information technology certification program. "This might be a first," said
Phillip Harris, executive director of the Association for Educational
Communications and Technology. "I can't come up with any other institutions
that offer IT certification."
MeasureUp provides the University of Dayton with Microsoft Office
Specialist tests for the core Microsoft Office 2000 products, including
Microsoft Access, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. MeasureUp also offers the
Microsoft Office XP products through their eCommerce web site and for resale
through their Channel Partner programs.
"MeasureUp products are a natural fit for the academic market," stated
Kevin Brice, President and General Manager of MeasureUp, Inc. "Our products
are designed to help students actually use the products and prepare for the
vendor exam."
MeasureUp delivers practice tests on a proprietary testing engine that
enables users to purchase tests for online, download, or CD-ROM delivery.
MeasureUp's Microsoft Office Specialist practice tests are designed to deliver
a "live-in-the-application" experience; they are not simulations, and users
must complete task-based questions. MeasureUp's certification preparation
products include simulation question types and multiple testing modes
including study and certification mode.
