Online Exam Platform
Our online exam platform enables organisations to create, deliver, and manage secure assessments at scale. Designed for high-stakes exams, it supports randomisation, item banking, and automated grading. With ISO 27001 certification and GDPR compliance, the platform ensures data security while offering accessibility features aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
Proctoring Services
Synaps proctoring tools combine browser lockdown, webcam monitoring, and AI algorithms to detect irregularities during exams. Available in lockdown mode, webcam screenshots, or AI-proctored with human review, these services maintain exam integrity for organisations requiring secure remote assessments across global time zones.

Flexible scheduling options allow organisations to set fixed deadlines, relative time windows, or indefinite access for exams. Features include automated reminders, resit management, and candidate-specific time adjustments, ensuring seamless delivery for both synchronous and asynchronous assessments.
