What the Report Covers
For the first time, Brainbench – the global leader in online testing -- has mined its
extensive database of more than 3.5 million registered users to identify the
countries and geographic regions with the highest concentrations of certified
professionals in 30 of the most critical information technology skill areas. The
result is the Brainbench Global IT IQ Report, which identifies a number of key IT
certification metrics, including:
The total number of certified IT professionals by country for North
America, Europe, Russia and the Newly Independent States, the Middle
East, South Asia, the Pacific Rim and Australia/New Zealand.
Breakout data on the number of IT professionals in all 30 categories for
Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan
Detailed data on the top 10 IT certifications within 10 of the largest U.S.
metropolitan statistical areas
Methodology
Brainbench mined its database to determine the 30 most popular tests and
certifications around the globe in 2001. Results for each test were sorted by
country and consolidated into an overall indicator of the total number of certified
IT professionals in all 30 categories. Results were then grouped by geographic
region of the world so that they could be compared and contrasted.
