Reflecting on Our IBC Exams This Semester: Adobe & PCEP Results and Key Lessons Learned

At YaizY, we believe in not only preparing students with the skills they need for today’s workforce but also ensuring that they feel confident in demonstrating those skills through industry-based certification (IBC) exams.

Last year, just 40 students passed IBC exams with us. This year, we’ve proudly grown to 500+ students passing the same exams with our trusted partners. The success of last year’s program helped us expand, and we’re excited to keep this momentum going. But what makes this success so repeatable, and why is YaizY's IBC prep hard to replicate?

Results and Achievements

Our students’ performance on the Adobe and PCEP exams has been remarkable, showcasing their proficiency in key areas of digital education. These certifications are more than just credentials; they represent students' readiness to enter the workforce with the skills necessary to succeed in design, programming, and digital content creation.

• Adobe Photoshop Exam: Students demonstrated strong skills in graphic design, animation, and creative software use.

• PCEP Exam: Students validated their ability to understand Python fundamentals and apply coding techniques that are critical for careers in software development, data science, and cybersecurity.

Picture with Results:

• 8 campuses

• 500+ students

• 51% academic improvement

• 30% average exam passing rate

What Makes YaizY Different?

Our success is not accidental. It’s a result of strategic preparation, personalized support, and unique tools that make a real difference for our students. Here’s what sets us apart and why our approach is so effective:

1. Pre-Assessment for Targeted Learning
   Before diving into the course, we conduct pre-assessments to identify students' strengths and knowledge gaps. This allows us to tailor our lessons and focus on areas where students need the most support. This approach ensures a more efficient and targeted learning experience — and better results. By customizing their learning path, we give students the best chance for success, addressing challenges early on and building on their existing knowledge. Other programs often lack this tailored approach, which makes a huge difference.

2. Multiple Practice Tests
   Our students complete multiple test attempts before the real exam. The exam platform can be intimidating if students aren’t familiar with it, which is why we provide several practice tests. These simulate the real experience, allowing students to get used to the interface, time constraints, and question formats. Practice builds confidence — and our students walk into their exams feeling ready and prepared. This is a crucial step that ensures no student feels overwhelmed on test day.

3. Review and Individual Feedback
   After each test attempt, we don’t just grade the answers — we offer individual feedback. This allows us to pinpoint the knowledge gaps and offer targeted guidance for improvement. With our comprehensive reviews, students can understand exactly where they went wrong and why, helping them correct mistakes early on. This feedback loop is essential to their learning and something many other programs overlook. Personalized attention makes all the difference in their journey to passing the exam.

4. Real-Time Teacher Support with Tools
   We provide students with resources like workbooks, self-paced tests, and interactive learning tools that support their progress every step of the way. Our YaizY platform includes features like screen sharing, enabling teachers to give real-time feedback, check progress, and spotlight areas that need attention. The combination of immediate support and structured tools makes our prep courses incredibly effective. Many programs simply don’t have this level of real-time interaction with teachers, which sets YaizY apart.

5. Collaborative Approach with Partners
   At YaizY, we understand that collaboration with our partners is key to improving outcomes. That’s why we engage in continuous feedback loops. We send bi-weekly reports, hold weekly reviews, and confirm actions based on analytics to ensure we are on track. This data-driven approach enables us to make real-time adjustments to meet the needs of our students and partners, providing them with the most effective and efficient support. Through this close collaboration, we are able to fine-tune our courses to maximize student success.

Moving Forward: Enhancing IBC Exam Preparation

As we look ahead to the next semester and beyond, these lessons will continue to guide how we prepare students for IBC exams. By providing continuous practice, personalized feedback, and targeted learning based on analytics, we are ensuring that every student has the resources they need to succeed. We’re also flexible — adapting to meet the individual needs of students and the feedback we receive from partners.

We’re excited to continue working with our partners to help even more students earn industry certifications, build portfolio-ready projects, and gain confidence that will serve them throughout their careers.

We’re thrilled to see the next cohort of students advance with industry certifications and career-ready skills. Stay tuned for more updates on our exam preparation process and new opportunities for growth!
