Kryterion, a leader in certification test development and delivery solutions, was selected by Probabl, the official operator of the scikit-learn brand, to deliver the first-ever official certification programme targeting millions of data scientists. The scikit-learn software library has registered over 1.5 billion downloads and is the gold standard for open-source machine learning in the Python ecosystem, underpinning over 1 million global projects. Kryterion’s proven track record as a secure, scalable certification platform makes it the ideal partner for delivering this groundbreaking programme.
As the official operator of the scikit-learn brand, Probabl is spearheading the initiative to provide structured certification across three key tiers: associate, professional, and expert. This move aims to elevate the standards of responsible and accountable AI development, recognising data scientists as the primary architects of artificial intelligence.
In recognising this strategic collaboration,
Yann Lechelle, co-founder and CEO of Probabl, commented, “Delivering a global certification programme to scikit-learn users is paramount to recognising and validating the hundreds if not thousands of hours data scientists across the world have spent mastering the framework. It will set a gold standard to maximise their ability to deliver business value in machine learning and AI and we are happy to work with Kryterion as our strategic partner in this ambitious and responsible initiative.”
As Kryterion’s CEO, William Dorman, confirms, “Kryterion is excited to partner with Probabl to deliver the first-ever scikit-learn certification programme. This collaboration aligns perfectly with Kryterion’s commitment to responsible and accountable AI development, ensuring that data scientists are equipped with the necessary skills while maintaining the highest standards of candidate experience and exam security. By providing certification to millions of professionals, we’re not only advancing AI expertise but also reinforcing the importance of trust, integrity, and security in this growing and critical field.”
Probabl and Kryterion will support the global data science community by offering the first globally recognised certification in scikit-learn, enhancing professional credentials and advancing responsible and accountable AI development across industries.
