SotaTek-YBM Partnership Introduces COS Pro in Vietnam

Global IT company SotaTek has collaborated with YBM through SotaTek Education to introduce the international programming certification exam, COS Pro (Coding Specialist Professional), to the Vietnamese market.

This collaboration began with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between SotaTek and YBM on December 17 last year, followed by a licensing agreement on January 8 this year to launch COS Pro in Vietnam. Through this, SotaTek provides Vietnamese developers with global-level technical certification opportunities, further enhancing the company's development capabilities.

SotaTek-YBM Accelerates IT Talent Development in Vietnam with COS Pro

COS Pro is an international programming certification used by global companies such as Samsung, LG, and Korean Air for hiring and technical evaluation standards. The certification includes exams in various programming languages such as C, C++, C#, JAVA, and Python, assessing practical skills from basic programming to advanced techniques.

Additionally, the exam is conducted through a 100% computer-based test (CBT), which ensures accurate evaluation and rapid result reporting. According to a McKinsey & Company report, 87% of companies are facing a shortage of skilled tech talent during their digital transformation processes, and only 40% of IT workers globally meet the hiring criteria of companies. As a result, COS Pro plays a crucial role in training practical developers that meet the needs of businesses.
