In detail

Test centres, training providers and colleges running Functional Skills English, and providers using HEDA tests for admissions.

  • Question bank

    A shared bank of reading, writing, listening and speaking questions, reviewed and versioned. Centres adopt questions into their own bank and hear when a newer version comes out.

  • Writing tests

    Ten question types, sections, reading passages and audio, with marks and timings set for each test.

  • Sitting the exam

    Full-screen tests with timers, autosave and audio recording for speaking. A sitting can bundle two to four tests, with pause and resume.

  • Integrity checks

    Leaving full screen, switching tabs and pasting are all logged, and invigilators can watch sittings live.

  • Entry slips

    Candidate slips with access codes and QR codes, a slips calendar and exam room codes for each test centre.

  • Access arrangements

    Extra time, extra attempts or a moved test window for the candidates who need them.

  • Marking

    Reading and numeric answers marked automatically, rubric scoring, and human first and second marking with a moderator to settle disagreements.

  • Optional AI help

    Transcribing spoken answers, grammar feedback on writing and tidying scanned questions. Centres can switch it off.

  • Results

    Results, certificates and transcripts as PDFs, with each student’s progress and statistics.

  • Running a centre

    Bulk candidate import, staff invitations, two-factor sign-in and an audit log for each centre.

  • Data

    Data kept in the UK or EU, nightly backups for each centre, and a full export if a centre leaves.

Why teams use it

  • Functional Skills testing moves off paper.
  • Results are consistent, with double marking and moderation.
  • There’s evidence that each exam was sat fairly.
  • Each centre’s data is kept separate.

    We change workflows, integrations and design so the system fits how you work.

  • Support from the UK

    Support comes from people in the UK who know your project.

  • Secure by design

    Encryption, backups and access control are part of the build from the start.
