Let's work together to create a brilliant candidate experience
Every student has a unique journey, and the way we assess their abilities must reflect that diversity
As education technology continues to accelerate, and AI repeatedly dominates headlines, we're bringing focus back to the learner and candidate experience. We want to understand how learner requirements are changing, and how we, as an assessment service provider can keep up - creating a modern, fair and equitable digital assessment experience that lets students demonstrate their skills, and prepares them for the world of work.
The Candidate Lens Series
Trinity College London
Eleanor Andressen, Chief Academic Officer explains how different assessments can give students the chance to demonstrate a range of competencies; and what’s different and what remains the same for candidates around the world
Assessment design
Digital exam platform usability and accessibility contribute hugely to the candidate experience. RM's Head of Design, Krystel Boland, describes the many factors that go into creating digital assessment systems that ensure every candidate gets the result they deserve.
The candidate's perspective
Experience the stark differences between remote and in-person examinations. Teagan shares her personal journey of taking GCSEs remotely while living in Canada, compared to her current experience with A-levels in a traditional school setting.
What it means to awarding body leaders
We invited experts from professional qualification and general qualification awarding bodies to a roundtable discussion. This report is an account of the honest and all-embracing discussion of candidate experience – where it’s at and where it should go.
"The responsibility for delivering great candidate experience is a shared one. As awarding bodies we have the most to contribute but we need to work with regulators and wider industry to make sure that candidates can access assessments that meet their needs today and in the future."
