Train And Test In The Same Room.

Team Workforce is a Certiport Authorized Testing Center and an approved provider for the credentials we deliver. Most credentials require a separate authorized site for testing, which is the step where students in small and rural districts get stuck. We remove that step: the instruction and the exam happen in the same building, often in the same week.

We are also an Ohio TechCred training provider. Local businesses can upskill their current employees through TechCred with Team Workforce delivering the training, and school districts can use our credentialing to strengthen their career-technical offerings without building a program from scratch.

How A Learner Earns A Credential.

  1. Pick A Pathway

    Manufacturing, healthcare, IT and cybersecurity, quality management, or safety. We help students and adults choose based on what they are good at and what local employers need.

  2. Train With Our Instructors

    Hands-on instruction, in person, using the equipment the credential actually requires. Transportation support is available for students who need it.

  3. Test On Site

    Exams are delivered through our authorized testing center in the same building. No travel, no waiting list at a distant site.

  4. Put It To Work

    Credentials are reported for Ohio graduation requirements where they apply, and we connect completers to employers, apprenticeships, and next-level credentials.

What Our Learners Have Earned.

  • 30+ state-recognized credentials earned in one summer bootcamp
