Vietnam American Training Center (VATC) on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding with IIG Vietnam, partner and sole representative of the U.S.’s Certiport in Vietnam.
Under the agreement, VATC will become a Certiport authorized testing center for TOEFL Institutional Testing Program (TOEFL ITP), Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) and Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC3).
“Vietnam will be a highlighted potentiality in Asia in years to come and it needs the contribution of young people. So, to prove Vietnamese students’ talents and competence as other students in the world, registering international educational programs to get international degrees will be a fantastic opportunity,” said Paul Thomas Rubens, CEO of VATC.
IC3 provides students and job-seekers with the foundation of knowledge they need to succeed in environments that require the use of computers and the Internet. MOS certification exams provide a valid and reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise by evaluating learners’ overall comprehension of Microsoft Office or Office Project programs and ability to integrate Office programs with other software.
“Today, apart from English, IT is an important skill for everyone who wants to have a good job with a high salary and in a professional working environment. I think that MOS and IC3 will give Vietnamese students more chances to have international IT certificates of international standard,” said Doan Hong Nam, chairman of IIG Vietnam.
