Employee Spotlight: Zach Irwin, Senior Psychometrician

Zach Irwin can create your AI generation tool and officiate your wedding. When most people think of test development and certification, they picture the final product. But long before a candidate ever logs into an exam, an intricate, highly scientific process takes place behind the scenes so that every single question is fair, valid, and reliable. At the heart of this process is the psychometrics team. Often misunderstood as a solitary, numbers-only profession, psychometrics is actually a dynamic, deeply collaborative field. No one embodies this better than Zach Irwin, Senior Psychometrician at Kryterion. In this month’s Employee Spotlight, we

Credentialing Is No Longer a Department. It’s Infrastructure.

For decades, credentialing was viewed through a strictly administrative lens. For healthcare organizations and professional associations, it was a necessary and often tedious bureaucratic hurdle where paperwork went to be processed, stamped, and eventually filed away. Today, however, that mental model is not just outdated, it’s dangerously naive. The landscape of professional verification has undergone a seismic transformation. Credentialing is no longer a siloed department, a line item in an operational budget, or a back-office chore. It has become the foundational infrastructure upon which modern healthcare organizations and professional associations are built. Just as a city cannot function without

WCAG 2.1 & VPAT Compliance in High-stake Testing: How to Deliver Fully Accessible Certification Exams

In the current competitive business environment, professional certifications are vital for career advancement.
