MeasureUp has more than 200 titles, which make it easy for its customers to train remotely for certification exams with major technology companies. These include Microsoft, which uses MeasureUp as sole provider of practice tests, but also Amazon Web Services (AWS); Cisco, CompTIA, Oracle, PMI, SCP or VMWare, among others.

MeasureUp titles are practice tests, i.e. training assessment tools in which students learn while assessing their skills. They can in addition be used in two ways: in certification mode, with very similar conditions to those in the exam, or in practice mode, with the possibility of reviewing explanations of the questions and focusing on those aspects that need reinforcement.

The aim of the Media Interactiva group, which offers these special conditions with the #TrainatHome slogan, is that these days anyone can improve their digital skills in the tools and solutions of the major technology companies from their own home.
