Location: Broadmoor Hall D
In a highly competitive environment, standing out amongst your peers is not only important but imperative for candidates as well as credentialing programs. The demand to integrate real world experience into credentialing programs is growing. Join us to discuss how the inclusion of a job-related, predictive analytics modeling project within a credentialing program started as a strategic directive and is evolving to be a market differentiator. Some of the questions we will discuss are:
How do you design and integrate a performance test within an existing credentialing program?
How do you balance diverse requirements from Board members, candidates, SMEs, and employers to design the right solution?
What considerations must be determined for developing and scoring a performance test?
What lessons learned could be gleaned for other programs considering adding or updating performance tests in their programs?
Learn how a multi-exam credentialing program in actuarial science is utilizing an agile approach to engage stakeholder groups to launching this new component of its credentialing program.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to explain why job-related, real-world applications of knowledge and skills can serve as a market differentiator.
  • Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to identify how to balance diverse stakeholder groups’ requirements while maintaining fairness, validity, and reliability of the assessments.
  • Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to assess how they can develop a similar job-related, real-world performance tests for their program using lessons learned from this experience.
