Certification : 80 € H.T.
La certification TOSA® atteste pour une durée de 3 ans des compétences de l’apprenant sur une échelle de 1 000 points. Le diplôme TOSA® est envoyé si le score de l’apprenant est supérieur à 551 points. Une fois l’examen réalisé, l’apprenant peut consulter en direct ses résultats et reçoit par e-mail une attestation, une restitution détaillée de ses compétences ainsi que son diplôme sous 5 jours. L’examen dure 1 H 00 et se présente sous la forme de 35 exercices alternant entre des manipulations sur le logiciel et des QCM, dont la difficulté s’adapte selon les réponses de l’apprenant. Sans demande spécifique, il est dispensé par défaut en français et sur la version logicielle la plus récente. La surveillance est faite par un logiciel et est enregistrée à des fins de contrôle de conformité.
