The chapter aims at a change of perspective on e-assessment, which is seen not only as a way of knowledge evaluation, but also as a learning instrument, proper for the education of the already employed individuals or for the preparation process for attaining professional certifications. In order to validate this hypothesis, that e-assessment has formative effects, the following methodology was applied: after reviewing the application of e-assessment in professional training, theoretical considerations about building e-assessment systems were drawn, from two points of view: how questions are managed and how tests (sequences of questions) are built. Finally, the implementation of the theoretical considerations was presented within a proposed e-assessment system for project management knowledge. The system was validated though a set of methods: through experiments – for performance and utility validation and through a survey – for utility validation. Positive results were obtained, so a set of best practices can be obtained from the evaluation of the system. In order to build an efficient e-assessment application for PM knowledge, the following strategies are to be applied: the implementation of adaptive algorithms, the exploitation of feedback mechanisms, the implication of teachers/ instructors in the creation of test rules. The evaluation of the system proved its efficiency in professional trainings.
