NetCertification

What NetCertification does

NetCertification is a private US-based software company that operates the NetCert platform, a web-based certification and high-stakes exam delivery system. Founded circa 2006 and headquartered in Granville, Ohio, the company serves organizations that need to develop, administer, and analyze certification exams — including professional associations, educational institutions, and regulatory bodies. The platform supports the full exam lifecycle: exam development and revision, candidate management, secure multi-language exam delivery, performance analysis, and reporting, with configuration tailored to each client's existing processes rather than imposing a fixed workflow.

The technology stack is a customizable web platform with built-in multi-language support, candidate management tooling, secure processing/storage/transfer of exam data, and sophisticated reporting for candidate performance analysis. NetCertification does not offer a public API, SDK, or mobile app; client interaction is mediated through the web platform and direct sales engagement. The company is backed by Cyanna Education Services, which provides a team of education, technology, and regulatory professionals that supports exam development and adjacent training program creation.

The business model combines three revenue streams: subscription/recurring fees for the platform, transaction fees from candidate payment processing (including vouchers, coupons, and direct payments), and professional services for exam development assistance and training program creation. Go-to-market is an enterprise field sales motion with consultative engagement, flexible custom pricing, and multi-year contracts. NetCertification claims a 20-year operating history serving hundreds of organizations globally, with no disclosed funding rounds, no named customer logos, and no public M&A activity in the available data.
