IT Skills Assessment and Certification


Description

The National Institute of Public Administration (INTAN) is a public sector training and assessment centre for civil servants to enhance their competency. Government Digital Transformation requires INTAN to provide online assessment services for civil servants. IT Skills Assessment and Certification (ISAC) is a basic knowledge and skills for ICT assessment; it has replaced the manual typing test and compulsory for certain posts in Public Sector as pre-requisite for their job confirmation purposes. ISAC was enhanced to cater for End-to-End service as a new initiative in 2021. The ISAC system allows candidates to self-manage their pre-requisite assessment process, such as online application; attend the assessment as scheduled either from home or office or anywhere as long as the internet facilities are available; receive their results immediately after the assessment, and download or print the certificate. ISAC was controlled with certain security features such as webcam monitoring during the assessment, and QR Codes on the certificate. The significant feature of ISAC is time management for the candidate, coordinator, and other stakeholders.
