Hanson Mathematics is developing a rigorous examination-based certification program designed to provide an additional way for individuals to demonstrate mathematical competency.
Traditional educational credentials can provide useful information about a candidate's background. However, they do not always provide employers with a direct measure of a candidate's current mathematical abilities.
The Hanson Mathematics Certification program is being developed to provide candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate mathematical competency through standardized examinations.
The goal is simple: provide a rigorous and transparent way to demonstrate mathematical knowledge independent of where or how that knowledge was acquired.
Candidates will be able to demonstrate competency in defined areas of mathematics through examination.
Future certifications may assess areas such as:
Successful candidates will receive a verifiable credential documenting the mathematical competencies they have demonstrated.
The program is also being designed as a skills-based hiring resource for employers seeking candidates with strong mathematical abilities.
Potential employer services may include:
The objective is to give employers an additional method of evaluating mathematical ability beyond educational background alone.
The Hanson Mathematics Certification program is currently in development. Examination standards, competency frameworks, scoring procedures, credential verification, and employer participation are being developed before the program is formally launched.
Individuals and organizations interested in the development of the program are welcome to contact Hanson Mathematics.
