ESB International has embraced digital assessment technology since 2020 with the availability of online assessment both for your young people and our newer project of Adult Online assessment. This move is not only important in terms of a green economy strategy but also to upskill your young people in using different digital tools to develop their employability skills.
This online approach offers learners of all ages a more efficient and eco-friendly option to take their assessments from any location. It ensures that they receive a tailored and accessible assessment experience without compromising on security or international recognition. The Cirrus online assessment platform is easy for learners to use, has integrated anti-cheating technology and provides us with psychometric data so we can continually create better assessments. ESB International’s partnership with Cirrus ensures we have access to the latest high-stakes assessment security and technology. Cirrus are also developing a full offline mode, so that when connectivity drops completely, the assessment keeps running smoothly. This update gives your learners, parents and you peace of mind, knowing an internet interruption doesn’t interrupt the assessment experience.
Our online assessments offer fully automated remote live proctoring through advanced AI technology. Proctorio is a leading proctoring platform than uses cutting-edge technology to ensure the integrity of online assessments. Our collaboration with Proctorio guarantees that all learners are tested fairly and the testing environment is secure.
We strongly encourage you to interact with our website or You Tube page (https://youtu.be/8S0P-FUTv0I?si=8tyRV3osRBbcS2EA) where you can see a short clip of the technology we use and allow your young people and their parents to see the digital options available to them to take their ESB International assessment. We will run information sessions with Europalso during the year for language school owners to learn more about this digital assessment platform and to engage with it to see how it may be an important addition to the options open now for assessment methodology.
