The importance of e-Assessment is rapidly growing all for Awarding Bodies, professional organisations, and learners alike.

Prometric has substantial experience of delivering secure e-Assessment for organisations globally and within the UK. UK clients such as CITB-ConstructionSkills and Securities and Investment Institute are sharing the benefits of e-Assessment with their candidates.  e-Assessment enhances the client's existing procedures with features such as internet booking for candidates to find their nearest test centre and book their tests. 

The exam regulator, QCA, have dedicated a part of their Web site to e-Assessment and organisations such as the Federation of Awarding Bodies are also committed to overseeing the needs of e-Assessment users.

Our e-Assessment testing system shows the facets of common e-Assessment systems that users and organisations consider as part of their remit. Our Guide to Conversion addresses key questions about the conversion process and identifies best practices for test implementation and delivery procedures.

Four Pledges

1. We recognise that e-Assessment offers a variety of question types that are fit-for-purpose, not just multiple choice for foundation level exams. Programmes such as the CPA exam which utilizes embedded case studies and the new TOEFL exam that use speech capture within an exam, are live global examples of e-Assessment.
2. We dedicate resources to the UK and adopt an independent and impartial approach.  Our research from 2005 and 2006 comprehensively deals with issues such as moving from single event to continuous testing, the paramount importance of security in a dedicated test centre network and the ability of e-Assessment to deliver a return on investment.
3. We understand, help to develop and support recognised e-Assessment standards such as BS7988, which are tailored to UK e-Assessment needs and current practice: for example, the need for a dedicated test centre network.
4. We reassure Awarding Bodies and professional organisations that we have the backing and resources of a global company to deliver the e-Assessment solution that's appropriate for them and their learners.
