Deliver faster, fairer exam results

Smarter marking management

Streamline your written exam paper processing in our centralised marking platform, e-Marker®.

Our digital tools allow you to:

  • Reduce the risk of malpractice and protect the integrity of your qualifications
  • Add greater quality assurance methodology to ensure results are fair for every candidate
  • Optimise the efficiency of your marking process so results are published on time
  • Manage large numbers of markers and give them a positive marking experience
Every summer in the UK, e-Marker® enables 40,000 markers, to mark over 12 million exam papers, in just seven weeks.

How e-Marker® works

The e-Marker® system has been designed to reflect the real needs of exams managers, providing the functionality needed for easy marking management.

Faster paper processing

e-Marker® enables simple central coordination of work across a large number of markers. The system allows you to avoid costly manual processes by automatically assigning work and monitoring progress in real-time.

Better security, reduced malpractice

Keep personal information safe with candidate anonymity, encrypted data transfer and tools for marker oversight for seamless management of access and information throughout the marking process.

Greater quality and consistency

e-Marker® makes it easy to bring advanced quality assurance methodology to your marking processes with inbuilt tools for standardisation, sampling, double-marking and seeding.

AI for efficiency improvements

Our automatic handwriting recognition tool uses AI to extract candidate information on the front of each exam paper. This helps you to reduce the risk of data entry errors, increase marking efficiency and improve data security.

AI for marking assistance

AI plays an important role in e-Marker® by identifying unique responses in a short form answer and grouping them for quick batch marking. This means that a Senior Marker can assess thousands of candidate answers with a single click.

On-screen marking in action

As a pioneer of electronic marking, e-Marker® supports clients in awarding and professional bodies around the world. When moving from traditional pen and paper marking to electronic marking methods, e-Marker® is proven to bring improvements in marking quality by reducing bias, real-time marker monitoring and proactive malpractice management.

Accessible online marking with exceptional support

See how The London Institute of Banking & Finance has been using e-Marker® for nearly 20 years to reduce costs and speed up marking, while maintaining a high level of quality.

Reducing malpractice with speed and transparency

See how the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU-K) used e-Marker® technology to reduce malpractice and uphold standards with an automated online marking system.

Our experience using e-Marker® has always been one of high quality professionalism and collaboration. The excellent customer service and collaboration ensures that the most important customer at the centre of the whole process is the learner. This helps us to achieve our vision to provide high quality, trusted qualifications to all learners.
