Engineering an Equitable Digital Experience

Kryterion and ACVREP engaged in collaborative problem solving to move from paper to digital delivery. Because accessibility was the top priority, Kryterion worked to engineer a custom solution that removed technical barriers for visually impaired candidates.

Through this partnership, the organizations:

• Integrated specialized licenses for ZoomText magnification and JAWS screen reading software.
• Updated the testing platform to support full function keys required by JAWS users.
• Procured dedicated laptops to provide consistent and equitable testing environments.
• Migrated to a global network that allows for worldwide exam delivery.

Key results included:

• Expansion into over 19 countries, including the Middle East and parts of Australia.
• Validation and strengthening of exam programs through Kryterion's psychometrics expertise.
• Accelerated career opportunities for candidates who are blind or have low vision.
• Scalable infrastructure that supports the development of new certifications.
