The Biotechnician Assistant Credentialing Exam (BACE) is an industry-recognized exam designed to assess core skills and knowledge sets identified by industry, and represented within the academic and performance standards of Biotechnology programs. The exam was originally vetted by the state of Florida’s industry organization, BioFlorida, which represents more than 3,000 companies and research organizations in the biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and bioagriculture sectors. Since its creation, BACE has been assessed by national and international companies as other states adopt the exam.

What people are saying about the BACE

Juan Martinez

“A BACE-credentialed job applicant will certainly have an advantage because it mitigates some of the risks associated with true job qualification, provides reassurance of base competencies required for the industry, and helps in the design of training plans. “

Fiona McAlister, Ph.D.

“I encourage any biotechnology/ biomed instructor to give their students this opportunity to gain an industry recognized credential that will provide them with a competitive advantage over their peers.”
