The Biotechnology Aptitude and Competency Exam (BACE) is a national industry-recognized exam offered by Biotility that assesses core competencies identified as valuable to the bioscience industry. BACE credential earners have documented mastery of these core skills and knowledge sets, ensuring they are prepared to handle diverse tasks within a regulated environment. This comprehensive approach also makes these candidates more appealing for long-term career growth and higher-level roles in the biotechnology industry. The BACE credential is verifiable by employers and is shareable on platforms such as LinkedIn and Indeed, enhancing visibility for job seekers.
Achieving a full credential requires a commitment to preparation, as candidates must demonstrate proficiency across multiple areas. The BACE is made up of eight categories, which together incorporate industry defined standards for competencies and skills.
