Salt Lake City, UTAH – January 31, 2017
Certiport (www.certiport.com), a Pearson VUE business, the leading test delivery solution provider for the global workforce and academic markets, today launches the new Toon Boom Certified Associate (TCA) Certification Program. Certiport will immediately offer four TCA-level exams: Storyboard Pro, Harmony Essentials, Harmony Advanced and Harmony Premium.
TCA certification is a new way to validate and communicate superior animation skills to prospective employers and academic institutions. Storyboard Pro is a storyboarding software that combines drawing and animation tools with camera controls and Harmony is Toon Boom’s powerful animation software. Certiport and Toon Boom worked together to develop the TCA certification exams with key objectives designed to measure the fundamental functions of the software.
“Toon Boom software is the industry-standard for storyboarding and animation creation,” said Francois Lalonde, vice president of sales, Toon Boom. “All top animation studios use Toon Boom extensively and individuals looking to build a career in this field can prove their expertise with this new certification program.”
TCA certification will also be supported by electronic badging from Acclaim, enabling learners to easily share and prove their skills in the digital world. TCA certification will be administered through Certiport’s network of more than 14,000 Certiport Authorized Testing Centers worldwide.
