Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study analyzes the IT certification training and testing market for professionals and includes specific recommendations that are provided for both certification sponsors and training vendors. Five-year forecasts of certification testing revenue and certification training revenue are provided. Revenue data reflects spending on external certification testing (i.e., publicly available tests through test-delivery providers) and external education and training (i.e., training purchased from training vendors rather than developed and delivered by internal resources) for IT certifications.

"Regrowth of the certification market observed in 2005 continues in 2006. Certification sponsors with strong brands and clear messages around the value of certification are well positioned to make the most of the rebounding market." ? Cushing Anderson, program director, IDC's Learning Services research.
