Secure online examinations, fully invigilated.
Assessora runs remote assessments end to end and monitors examinations delivered on awarding-body portals, with nothing for the candidate to install and every action logged.
One platform, from registration to review
Whether the examination is delivered inside Assessora or on an awarding body's own portal, the centre gets the same secure record.
Online examination delivery
Secure, tracked candidate links, identity gate, timed papers with continuous auto-save, and automatic submission when time is up.
Secure monitoring for external exams
For examinations delivered on an awarding body's own portal, such as GQA. Nothing to install: the candidate shares their screen, camera and microphone from the browser and Assessora records the session.
Live invigilation
Invigilators confirm identity on camera, open and close the examination window for their centre, and see every candidate live.
Review and audit trail
Every session has a full record: screenshots, timeline, device and IP. Invigilator, IQA and awarding-body reviewers each see exactly what they need.
Five steps, one complete record
Designed for examinations sat on the awarding body's website. The candidate stays in their normal browser; Assessora watches from a second tab.
- 01
Centre opens the window
An invigilator or tutor opens the examination window for the centre. Until then no candidate can start.
- 02
Candidate starts monitoring
From the Assessora student page: camera, microphone and entire screen are shared. Baseline calibration takes ten seconds.
- 03
Arrival on the exam site is proved
The examination opens from Assessora. One screenshot of the login page is stored as proof the candidate reached the right site.
- 04
The session is watched, not photographed
Leaving the exam for another site, tab or application is captured every time, within seconds. The examination paper itself is never photographed.
- 05
Completion is proved, then reviewed
One screenshot of the completion page closes the record. Centre staff review the timeline, evidence and any flags.
Built for the people who have to answer to the awarding body
Centres are accountable for every remote examination they run. Assessora gives them the evidence to stand behind each one.
Nothing to install
No extension, no download, no IT tickets. Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox on any laptop or desktop.
Built for scale
Tested with 150 centres and 1,500 candidates sitting at the same time. Evidence uploads go straight to secure storage, not through the server.
Every departure recorded
A switch to WhatsApp, email, a search engine or another tab is captured with a timestamped screenshot, and the candidate is warned.
The paper stays private
Question pages are recognised and never stored. Only the login, introduction and completion pages are photographed on the exam site.
One candidate, one device
Each account runs on one machine at a time. A second device is refused and the attempt is written to the record.
Audit-ready in one click
Arrival proof, completion proof, time spent per site, camera and microphone findings and a full timeline, ready for IQA and EQA sampling.
Strict, but fair and transparent
Monitoring protects the value of the qualification the candidate is working for. It should never feel like a trap. Every candidate is told what is watched, warned before anything counts against them, and never asked to install software on their own computer.
Go to the student portalClear from the start
The page explains exactly what is recorded before anything is shared. No hidden monitoring.
An opening period
The first minutes are for signing in and finding the link. The record runs, but spoken warnings wait until the examination begins.
Warned before flagged
Leaving the exam triggers an on-screen and spoken warning, so a slip can be corrected before it counts.
Fair to how you sit
Camera monitoring calibrates to the candidate’s own posture and room, so nobody is flagged for sitting the way they always sit.
What is recorded, and what is not
The same list the candidate sees before they share anything.
Recorded
- Proof of reaching the examination site (login page)
- The introduction page and the completion page
- Every move to another site, tab or application, with a screenshot
- Camera findings: second person, phone, looking away, absence
- Microphone findings: speech in the room
- Device, browser and IP address, and any change of machine
- Time spent on the exam site and away from it
Never recorded
- Examination questions or answers, in any form
- Continuous video of the screen or the candidate
- Audio recordings of the room
- Keystrokes, passwords or anything typed
- Files, browsing history or other applications on the device
Six roles, separated duties
Every action is attributed to a named person, keeping responsibilities cleanly separated for internal and external quality assurance.
Candidate
Sits the assigned examination: opens the link, verifies identity, answers and submits.
Tutor
Delivers the live class, opens the examination window and confirms attendance.
Centre Administrator
Registers candidates, allocates assessments, configures the approved exam site.
Invigilator
Verifies identity on camera, releases exams, reviews monitoring records and manages incidents.
Internal Quality Assurer
Samples completed examinations and monitoring records and records findings.
IQA / AO Reviewer
Read-only access to everything for the independent integrity review.
Designed for awarding-body compliance
Remote exam model
Follows the approved-centre remote delivery model used by UK awarding bodies, with the centre in control of the window.
Evidence you can hand over
Every session exports as a readable record: proofs, timeline, findings and reviewer notes.
UK data handling
Operated by SL Brothers Ltd, London. Evidence is stored in European infrastructure with access limited to named roles.
