ECS PASSES 50,000 ASSESSMENTS USING REMOTE INVIGILATION SYSTEM… Greater flexibility and savings on time and money
T he Electrotechnical Certifications Scheme’s (ECS) Remote Invigilation system has now seen over 50,000 online assessments completed. Initially introduced as a pilot for employers in January 2021, this system was launched to address the challenges posed by the closure of assessment centres during Covid-19 restrictions. It was later extended to ECS cardholders, providing access to assessments like the ECS Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Awareness Assessment and various technical assessments. The ability to take assessments remotely has proven highly popular, offering flexibility and savings in terms of time and money. Candidates can securely complete their assessments at their convenience using a laptop or desktop with a webcam and a stable internet connection. This system also incorporates AI-powered behavioural monitoring and verification tools to combat fraudulent behaviour.
The ECS has continuously updated and improved the
system since its launch, providing on-screen guidance and a step-by- step video guide on their website. With assessments available immediately after
purchase, employers and clients can have timely assurance that minimum standards for health, safety, and environmental awareness are met. Jay Parmar, Chief Executive of the Joint industry Board (JIB), commented, “The Remote Invigilation assessment system has proved to be a great success since its launch in 2021. We are delighted to be able to offer this service to ECS
cardholders as its ease of use provides a flexible solution to customers who are concerned about time restraints and travel costs.” The ECS is committed to delivering excellent value and enhancing its offering based on customer feedback.
