We support every step of your digital exams journey
Your journey to digital exams is likely to be phased. Going digital isn’t always about moving to on-screen exams immediately.
The first step may be to digitise the underpinning operations that support your existing exams.
- Exams authoring is a time-consuming process that can be significantly improved with technology.
- Exam marking is a challenging operation that can be undertaken faster and with fewer errors by using a digital system.
- Using technology to analyse exams results data can help your schools and district authorities improve teaching and learning.
Digitising these parts of the assessment operation may be an important first step for any government or awarding organisation considering a move to on-screen exams.
We can help you truly innovate in your delivery of online exams
If you have already moved to on-screen testing, your next step may be in exploring how to realise the full potential of digital delivery, so your assessments truly reflect the digital world candidates live and study in.
Maybe you see opportunities in harnessing technology to provide meaningful diagnostic and formative testing to improve educational outcomes.
Maybe you feel it’s time to innovate your question types with multimedia, to engage learners and provide a fairer way of assessing what they know.
Or maybe you are ready to rethink the format of your exams – for example, moving from traditional single-session assessments, to on-demand adaptive assessments that test a full range of skills.
Whatever innovations you are planning, we can help you ensure they are successful.
Partner with the experts in e-assessment
AQA Global Assessment Services provides all the tools and expertise you need to offer high-quality, valid and reliable digital and dual-mode assessments.

Case study: innovative adaptive online testing
We manage the delivery of 2.5 million online assessments each year for schools in Wales. The Welsh government wanted to use all the advantages of online testing to innovate beyond traditional monitoring tests, to deliver better educational outcomes.
What sets us apart? A service that’s built around your requirements
Our online testing solutions are flexible because our proprietary assessment software is designed to integrate with other systems – including our partner test delivery systems.
That means we can recommend the right technology based on your specific requirements.
It also gives you the flexibility to swap components later without the disruption of removing services you want to keep.
We can provide this flexibility with the support you expect from a single provider, the leadership you expect from a delivery partner, and the expertise you expect from a leading academic awarding body.
Our team can provide expert levels of programme management should you need them – including consultancy, assessment training, assessment development and psychometric services.
