Some aspects of the global IT learning solutions and international certification opportunities in the Republic of Moldova

This paper offers a number of important issues on the development of e-learning technologies and their implementation in the education process of the Republic of Moldova and at the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova (AESM), by the Center for Economic Development from Chisinau in particularly. We are analyzing our experience gained during the training process development by using the facilities provided by the course management system "Moodie." This system is actively applied in the continuous education process and at the MS IT Academy Moldova project within the AESM. Two years ago we established the MS IT Academy Moldova, based on international well known academic curriculums which are enriched with real-world skills. The program connects students, instructors, schools and IT businesses in Moldova while using so named blended approach: classical and e-learning. There are many simulations, examples and case studies from practical business situations. These elements are usually missing in the university courses, so they were introduced in the study process of this program. Classes are offered in Romanian-English and Russian-English languages. The most competitive students have the opportunity to obtain an international online certification in English. We are a part of the Pearson-VUE and Prometric, both known as superior technology and secure test center networks. We believe that an industry-leading certification is a proof to employers that our students have the skills for a job in various fields of activities and helps the young specialists obtain good jobs positions.
