Web Analytics Association Launches Global Testing Centers for Web Analyst Certification Program in Response to Growing Interest and Industry Need
Wakefield, MA - August 2, 2010 - Today, the Web Analytics Association (WAA) announced the global launch of approximately 230 testing centers across the United States and internationally where WAA members and interested Web analysts can take the organization’s certification exam. The WAA’s Web Analyst Certification Program™, previously only available on site at industry events, is designed to provide a mechanism for individuals to obtain professional recognition after demonstrating their knowledge and analytical abilities. The computer-based, proctored testing centers are available in over 170 locations in the United States and approximately 60 centers internationally.
Launched in April 2010, the WAA Web Analyst Certification Program has delivered enhanced credibility and competitive advantage to Web analytics and marketing professionals who have successfully completed the program. The launch of the global test centers opens up certification to a much larger audience of professionals who are seeking an opportunity to demonstrate their expertise and gain public recognition of professional achievement.
The WAA offers a discount on the price of the exam to individual members, and its corporate members will receive a limited number of free certification exams each year. Additionally, those who do not pass the exam on the first try will have the option to re-take the exam for only $99.
"We are thrilled to launch our permanent computer-based testing centers across the globe for Web analytics and marketing professionals who have not previously had access to our exam locations,” said Peter Sanborn, president of the WAA. "We have received extremely positive feedback from those who have already completely the program, and we know there remains a growing need among employers for qualified, experienced analytics and marketing optimization professionals. As the program continues to grow, we predict that WAA Certification will become an important credential for those professionals to showcase their understanding of the industry.”
