FAIRFAX, VA. & BALTIMORE--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--We are pleased to announce that the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners® (IBLCE®) has selected Prometric® as its partner for the global administration of the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant® (IBCLC®) credential. Under the terms of this multi-year agreement, IBCLC candidates will have access to Prometric’s secure computer-based testing (CBT) locations around the world, including the most extensive network of professional testing locations serving populations in North America, Asia, and other markets.

Alex Paladino, Prometric’s senior executive responsible for client relationships, recently expressed her excitement regarding the future of the partnership: “Prometric is pleased to have been selected by IBLCE to be their assessment delivery partner for the next several years. For the past 34 years, IBCLCs have established sterling reputations as key members of the maternal child healthcare team, working with parents and families, policymakers, and others to provide expert breastfeeding and lactation care. Prometric will contribute to their continued success by leveraging our global scale and technology investments to provide testing solutions that address the evolving needs of the IBCLC global candidate base.”

Additionally, Paladino highlighted how working with IBLCE has helped Prometric revisit and enhance test administration best practices and accommodations for lactating parents, stating “We appreciate IBLCE’s guidance in assisting Prometric in upgrading its lactation and breastfeeding policies to facilitate a positive candidate-focused experience for individuals who take an examination while lactating.”

Prometric will provide IBLCE with the same premier testing benefits that more than 300 leading corporate, academic, and professional certification and licensure organizations have received each year. Prometric has assisted in the successful administration of more than 7 million examinations annually in over 180 countries. Further, Prometric has developed industry-leading operational practices and service capabilities so that everyone will test in a secure, controlled, and consistent testing environment—regardless of location.
