Supporting your transition to
e-assessment
AQA Global Assessment Services is now supported by Inspera Digital Assessment Services
Together we offer a complete solution to support the development and delivery of your on-screen and dual mode assessments.
A complete end-to-end digital exams solution
We combine best-of-breed services for e-authoring, paper test construction, e-testing, e-proctoring, e-coursework, results, e-marking and data analysis.
Customised to your needs
Our solutions are highly configurable and developed specifically for delivering national high-stakes exams at scale. Our technology can flex to your processes, no matter how specific they are to your organisation.
All the benefits of modularity
Our technology follows international standards including QTI and LTI, connectable to each other and to your platforms through multiple APIs. That gives you the flexibility to change components without the upheaval of changing components you want to keep.
With the seamless integration you expect from a single e-test provider
Author your exams in AQA’s GradeMaker Pro platform while dynamically previewing how the content will appear to candidates in the Inspera on-screen player. Then when the exam is ready, publish from GradeMaker to Inspera at the push of a button.
Supported by a service that provides total reassurance
We understand that high-stakes exam delivery requires a dedicated and responsive service, from successful onboarding to ensuring smooth running of exams year on year.
Enhanced by a partnership driven by shared objectives
We’re a national awarding body, just like you. We understand first-hand the pressures of developing and delivering high-stakes assessments. And with over 15 years’ experience providing assessment consultancy, training, psychometrics and managed services to international governments and awarding bodies, you can expect a real partnership-level service.
