  3. Why Bother ????????? • Why Bother???????? • Better candidate experience • Competitive issues • Regulatory encouragement • A better way to train and test.

  4. Candidates take an exam when they are ready NOT when we say they have to be ready.

  5. MakingThe Business Case • On line is more expensive • Business case must look at: • Competitive position • Candidate experience • Candidate expectation • Potential to increase entries

  6. Making the Business Case Look very closely at cost base and aggressively identify savings that will be made as a result of going on line.

  7. Potential Cost Savings • Printing • Centre costs • Invigilation costs • Couriers and postage • Less regular moderation meetings • Staff both in exam and support areas

  8. Selecting a Partner • Note the word partner – not supplier • Experience of running on line exams • Which system is being used • Security arrangements • Support arrangements • Costs • Availability of Centres

  9. Centre Issues • How many • Where • Corporate centres • Mobile testing

  10. Compiling the Test Moderation • Has to be done in advance • Essential to take advice • Two possible routes: • Fixed form • Random selection

  11. Fixed Form A number of tests are compiled in their entirety and the system allocates a test at random

  12. Fixed Form Issues • System must allocate a different paper at re-sit to those who fail. • Paper needs to be pre moderated • Everything is done up front • Accuracy is essential - GRFT

  13. Random Selection The question bank is held in the system which selects at random the questions to be used by reference to the test specification

  14. Issues with Random Selection • Size of question bank • Facility values • Test specification and syllabus • Introducing new questions • Enemies • Frequency of change of paper

  15. Implementation Project structure

  16. Communication Issues • Early research with customers • Keep customers aware of progress • Give dates you can meet • Put a trial test on your web site

  17. Topical Tips • Research the cost benefit implication with great care • Select your partner with care • Understand how your business will change • Make sure it will change for the better • Research the issues around random and fixed form carefully – there is scope for a false start.

  18. You have to get it right first time. Are your procedures and controls up to it????????????
