Top 5 Reasons Why Now is the Time to Get Certified

Educators have enough to juggle these days without having to figure out if your company’s software will plug and play with the rest of their digital ecosystem. Here are five ways 1EdTech certification gives you an advantage when institutional leaders consider their digital learning priorities.

1. A name they trust. The 1EdTech TrustEd Apps Directory provides high-traffic marketing exposure as the authoritative source for 1EdTech-certified products. When institutions shop, they start here first.

2. Stand out in a crowd. Certification goes beyond claims of “compliance." Having a 1EdTech certification shows your dedication to improving outcomes for teachers and learners.

3. Play well with others. 1EdTech certification guarantees interoperability across the widest range of integrations and thousands of certified products. The list continues to grow every day.

4. Stay sharp. 1EdTech-certified products are backed by expert technical support to troubleshoot any technical issues that may occur—making the implementation of a standard easier.

5. You're in good company. As part of the 1EdTech community, you’ll be ahead of the curve with updates to standards and involvement in the evolution of conformance testing. 

“Districts count on our implementation of 1EdTech specifications to transfer mission-critical information between vendors. 1EdTech certification is key to our successful supplier partnerships.”
