School Assessment Providers
For high-stakes exam providers serving ages 5-18
Providing high-stakes tests to schools can be very complex. You need to manage large teams of associates while maintaining the highest levels of quality, confidentiality and security. The need to modernise in the face of unexpected disruptions only makes this an even greater challenge for school assessment providers.
Do you aim to...
- Author a large range of high-quality, secure, and fair exams to children in full time education.
- Publish tests that reflect the highest levels of quality, consistency, and security.
- Continue developing your offering and laying a strong foundation for a move to digital testing.
