New CodeHS Certifications for High School Computer Science Students

San Francisco, CA, May 20, 2020 --(PR.com)-- CodeHS, a leading computer science educational technology company that has helped teach millions of students, has launched secure industry-relevant certification exams for high school. There are five level 1 certifications available including Java, JavaScript, Python, Web Design, and Cybersecurity.

Schools and districts can purchase certification exams for students to round out their computer science programs by verifying student mastery of foundation programming skills. These certifications are a stepping stone for students’ career aspirations, whether that’s entering college or the workforce.

“We know a lot of CTE departments want to offer students certification opportunities for computer science,” said Jeremy Keeshin, CEO at CodeHS. “Our team has built a secure and relevant exam that gives administrators and teachers insights into their program and provides students a certificate to showcase their programming skills for a college or work resume.”

Each certification exam has 45 randomized multiple-choice questions based on a list of programming topics and concepts created by CodeHS curriculum developers with extensive teaching experience. There are no prerequisites, however, it’s recommended that students complete the corresponding CodeHS course to fully prepare for the exam.
