Our ICT team have designed a robust, yet flexible, Control System which can be configured to any examination style. Clients can manipulate reading and assessment times, add audio prompts, and pre-recorded, verbal instructions to their exam. Used in conjunction with our CCTV and PA systems, a new level of operational control is achieved. Staff can focus on the areas that matter, and leave the ‘bell-ringing’ to the system.
All examination rooms contain discreet, video and audio technology, for the purpose of recording specific sections, or an entire exam from beginning to end. Video footage can be used for the review of candidate and examiner performance, for ensuring consistency across marking, for standardising Appeal or Special Consideration processes and for training purposes. Shared areas of the facility are also captured by CCTV, enabling a birds-eye view of operations at all times.
Monitor your examination in real-time from multiple angles, in the Observation Room – or potentially from anywhere in the world. Get insight into examiner and candidate behaviour which was once confined to the exam room. The ability to observe an exam while it’s in session, opens up opportunities for advancement in exam security, quality control and risk mitigation. It also allows for the easy management of exam personnel such as examiners, simulated patients and exam candidates – ensuring everyone is in the right place at the right time.
The NTC can support clients in making the move from paper to digital marking. With a fleet of tablets, all with mobile device management software built in, we can adapt to your marking solution, or assist you in finding suitable technology partners. We can assist with technical support and work with you to ensure redundancy and reliability, based on our own extensive experience.
Each examination station is equipped with two monitors, one inside and one outside the room, designed to display sharp, high quality, images and exam content. The monitors are individually programmed, meaning you can have video playing in one station and plain text in the next, depending on what the scenario requires. Begin saving on printing and shipping costs and increasing security and procedural efficiencies within your team.
As a secure facility, access to the centre is restricted and by appointment. Our team have developed solutions and processes which are geared around confidentially and the protection of people and information. This extends across operations and management, to the technology and infrastructure. Your exam’s security is paramount and our number one priority.
