Case Study: Certiport achieves a comprehensive, market-ready AI certification exam with Lionbridge's AI and linguistics expertise

How Lionbridge’s AI experts helped Certiport develop an AI certification exam for high schoolers and companies

Certiport, a Pearson VUE business and established provider of performance‑based certification and practice tests, developed a Generative AI certification aimed at 12th‑grade students and employers. To ensure the exam covered topics like AI ethics, prompt engineering, AI content creation, and error mitigation, Certiport engaged Lionbridge to provide an AI‑savvy Language Excellence Manager — the only AI and linguistics expert on its advisory panel.

Lionbridge’s expert participated in seven 2–3 hour advisory meetings over one month to help define job task analysis, exam objectives and the Minimally Qualified Candidate criteria, contributing AI and linguistics insight that shaped the final test. The partnership — part of a five‑year relationship — produced one AI certification exam and preparation materials that enable schools and employers to measure AI competency, expand Certiport’s reach in the growing AI market, and strengthen its authority as a neutral evaluator.
