Record and review invigilation

Our record and review offer gives you an educational experience like never before. The invigilation style ensures transparency and fairness in assessments, allowing verification of evaluation processes. Additionally, these exams support flexible learning, accommodating diverse styles and schedules. Overall, record and review exams create a dynamic, effective learning environment, promoting continuous improvement and responsible learning practices.

Transparent, simple pricing

Nobody likes unwelcome surprises particularly when it comes to finances, so we’ve put clarity and simplicity at the heart of our pricing model. With us, there are no hidden fees, no timed costings, and no complicated surcharges. Just clear and honest pricing that won't have your finance team raiding the piggy bank when the invoice drops.

Anytime, anywhere assessment

We live in a 24/7 world that’s constantly on the move. Education needs smart solutions to keep pace and adapt to the changing needs of centres and learners. Our Functional Skills offer does exactly that by offering the choice of three assessment methods: on demand assessment, online assessment and paper-based.

What is on demand assessment?

We're pretty proud of this one. On demand assessment is simple: the learner takes their assessment online at a time and place convenient to them (within reason!). No invigilator needs to be present while the assessment’s being taken, because everything’s recorded, ready to be invigilated at a later date.

There’s no need to book an exam slot and so no delays. With a two-year window to take the exam, it's 24/7 assessment delivered by an AO dedicated to making assessment completely flexible for the busy lives of centres, employers and learners.

Experience and expertise

We’re both an Awarding Organisation and an End-Point Assessment Organisation, so working with us for Functional Skills means training providers can tap into a wealth of expertise covering the whole vocational education landscape.

Think of us as a one-stop shop that’ll help centres streamline their suppliers list, minimise their processes and make life easier for their staff and learners.

Accessibility for all learners

Exams can be daunting for some learners, hey, we’ve all been there! That’s why as part of our promise to you, we ensure the journey from start to finish is easy to understand and accessible for all learners, no matter their ability. Whether it’s exam questions, or understanding the candidate guidance, we’ve got you, and your learners covered!
