Tosa: Progress monitoring and proficiency-based credentials for digital skills
Tosa (Tests on Software Applications) certifications are an innovative way to assess and certify digital skills with programs commonly used in the workplace, such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Office (including Excel VBA) and Power BI for business-focused programs,  the Adobe Creative Cloud for students learning graphic design and digital media, Python, JavaScript, HTML and CSS for computer science/coding, and/or AutoCAD and Revit within the architecture and engineering arena.


Tosa is the only certification for digital skills that uses adaptive testing and it's transforming how we assess and prepare learners for real-world success. Included practice tests provide a clear picture of desktopgraphicsdigital and/or coding skill sets, how students are progressing, and when they’re ready for certification. Then, ultimately, Tosa certifies learners with a proficiency-based result, providing deeper insight into digital competence beyond just a pass/fail outcome.
