You can get a certification from ExpertRating by taking an online test for that particular skill. Choose the test from the list on the to receive a syllabus and other information before sitting for the test.

If the chosen test is free, you can take it right away. If not, you have to pay the test fee by credit card or PayPal before taking the test. Most tests take between 30 to 50 minutes and consist of multiple-choice questions. The tests are closed-book, so users should not have study material with them. After the exam, you can purchase a hard-copy certificate.

ExpertRating offers a bank of more than 800 tests businesses can use to help assess employee skills. Once the candidate takes the test, you receive a comprehensive performance report. This helps businesses make informed decisions when hiring.
