Quality and Compliance

To ensure standards are met throughout our delivery the Quality and Compliance Assessment (QCA) process follows a quarterly cycle. It is completed by experienced assessors from our compliance team who are independent from our exam centres and partners in remote invigilation.

Through the QCA process we ensure:

  • exams are administered according to the Awarding Organisation requirements and the highest examination invigilation standards are adhered to
  • our data and physical storage infrastructure is robust
  • confidential materials, whether in physical or digital formats, are always kept secure
  • exam venues are modern, comfortable and convenient for candidates and reflective of the brand and reputation of your qualifications and institutions
  • stringent requirements for training and performance monitoring of all staff involved in exams invigilation whether in centre or online
  • invigilation staff, whether working in test centres or online, are vetted and trained to the highest industry standards.
