Our Story
BrightShift began in 2003, building professional certification testing systems for leading certifying bodies including the AICPA, NCARB, Microsoft, Citrix, NCLEX, and Juniper Networks. As our expertise grew, we saw an opportunity to bring the same technology to students in career and technical education. Today we deliver entry-level certification testing and workforce safety training to middle school, high school, and postsecondary students, and we give the teachers and administrators behind them one powerful platform for assigning programs, managing rosters, and reviewing results.
Our Philosophy For Modern Credential Programs
You shouldn’t have to struggle with complex technology just to ensure your students’ success.
Teachers, administrators, and certifying bodies should be free to concentrate on student career readiness and credential achievement rather than being burdened by the intricacies of technology.
