Why Knowledge Pillars

Live in App or Browser Assessment Technology

Our coding and web development exam technology gives candidates access to practice tests and exam experiences in the actual software environment. We utilize task-based questions that challenge exam takers to use their higher-order thinking skills to create an end product or complete a process. Candidates are tested in a live web development or coding software platform such as WordPress or Python, JavaScript, etc. A student cannot pass our exams unless they actually know how to code or achieve tasks!

100% Web-based – No Installation Required

Our live-in-the-browser exams are 100% web-based. The Knowledge Pillars platform is accessible via any internet browser connection. No software download or browser add-on is required to use the full benefits of the interactive labs, practice exams, and certification tests!

Free Online Remote Proctoring Service

All Knowledge Pillars certification exams require that the exam must be proctored. An LLPA employee member may proctor the exam or the candidate may select to use our AI-driven online remote proctoring service during the certification exam experience. There is no additional charge for this service, and it is available to any candidate. Moreover, with the ORPS service, candidates can test whenever and wherever they want.

Vendor Neutral

Knowledge Pillars’s certification exams are vendor-neutral, maintaining a clear line of separation from any coding or web development vendor, enabling Knowledge Pillars to provide an unbiased assessment of coding or web development features that matter to industry professionals, not the vendor.

Foundational Knowledge Check

Knowledge Pillars coding and web development certifications can provide employers with evidence that new IT entrants or career changers are ready for hire or for additional training. These certifications can be used as benchmark entry points for internships, entry-level roles, or validation of readiness for more advanced training for existing professionals.

Career Benefits for Candidates

Candidates can leverage their Knowledge Pillars’ certifications as industry-recognized credentials to seek internships, and entry-level employment positions, or prove their readiness for more advanced training with their current or future employer.

Success Stories

Note: A majority of Knowledge Pillars’ current testimonials are from educators and students in the US K12 market and are not relevant to the LLPA target audience. However, we recommend seeking testimonials from current LLPA members already offering the certification to candidates in those countries, as follows:
