Exciting New Developments:
Course Update: Linux Pro
There's huge demand among employers for skilled Linux professionals. Help your students embrace the power of the penguin and become fluent with the world's most versatile operating system. The full course is now available.
TestOut is committed to student privacy protection. Our courseware has a special feature that checks the age of student learners, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection act. The age check is automatically active for all organizations, but if your school doesn't have any learners younger than 13, or in any other situation where this feature is not needed (or desired), it can be suppressed.
Just when you thought that Digital Literacy Pro couldn't be any more awesome than it already is, we've made the recipe even better. A major course update is coming next month: Watch for the release of Digital Literacy Pro 2.0 on January 24. (Prerelease access next Thursday!)
3) Out with old:Version 6 of PC Pro and Version 5 of Network Pro will retire on December 31!
Did Somebody Say Cool TestOut Swag?
We've got socks! We've got shirts! We've got stickers! We've got stuff that doesn't start with the letter S! Visit the brand new TestOut Swag Store to find out how you can get official TestOut gear!
Note: We're still in beta mode, so there's no shopping cart yet, but we have a (temporary) workaround.
K-12 instructors, do you need to evaluate a new TestOut course? Or would you like to introduce a colleague to TestOut learning solutions? Free Classroom Access will be available Jan. 1 through July 31. (Note: Only available to new customers or to help existing customers evaluate new products.)
You can't get a job in IT without excellent tech skills. But you won't thrive in IT without excellent soft skills. Why do IT professionals need to excel at things like time management, teaching others, writing (ugggh), and more? Help students learn about the other stuff they need to know.
In 2022, looking over your LinkedIn profile is even more important to some employers than reading your résumé. What does your LinkedIn profile say about you? And what can you do to make a better first impression? Help students get started on the path to employment!
We appreciate having the opportunity to work with so many outstanding educators and we appreciate everything you do for your students! Please reach out to us with any questions you might have. We are always here to help.
