Frequently asked questions about assessments
Yes, Tosa certifications are used in 58 countries around the world, on every continent. They are recognized by employers, educational institutions and public organizations, and are built on standardized skills frameworks that give them universal value.
In the United States, Tosa certifications are approved by several state Departments of Education (Texas, Florida, Washington, Nevada, Georgia, Colorado, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Indiana, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona, Missouri, Arkansas, Wyoming, etc.) and by workforce agencies as recognized industry credentials, notably within K-12, Career and Technical Education (CTE) and higher education programs.
They are also recognized in Canada, validated by CPD (Continuing Professional Development) in the United Kingdom, and by Examinstrumenten MBO (the upper secondary vocational education organization) in the Netherlands.

These skills are sought after in a wide range of in-demand occupations: administrative and management roles (management assistant, accountant, HR assistant), graphic and web design (graphic designer, web designer, web developer), IT and technical support, data analysis (data analyst), programming and software development, project management, digital marketing and communication, human resources, and cybersecurity.
A few concrete examples: the Tosa Excel certification is particularly sought after in finance and accounting roles (management controller, financial analyst, accountant), Tosa Power BI in data roles (data analyst, business analyst), Tosa Photoshop or Illustrator in design and visual communication roles, Tosa WordPress in digital marketing and communication roles, and Tosa Python or JavaScript in software development roles.
