TestVQ - generating evidence for qualifications
	TestVQ, the latest development from Award Learning Services, provides online assessments giving students more frequent opportunities to test their theory knowledge matched to their qualification aim. TestVQ has been developed from our highly successful 'Knowledge Assessor' product used by hundreds of UK colleges and training establishments to reduce paperwork and the time involved in setting, marking and giving feedback on knowledge assessments. TestVQ unit tests can be used as practice tests to reinforce knowledge and prepare trainees for their formal assessments. Assessors can also use TestVQ unit tests as formal tests where the occupational standards allow this e.g. Hairdressing, Beauty Therapy, Hospitality. Formal tests require an authorised person to electronically verify the candidate to validate the evidence, which can then be used to claim achievement towards certification. TestVQ automatically records the evidence required for audit which can then be accessed by the college, training centre or employer at any time. Volume prices As well as being available directly to students via the web or their mobile phones, TestVQ can be purchased by educational organisations and employers at discounted prices when registering large numbers of subscribers. Prices start from as little as £6.40 per user for a complete set of tests for a qualification and are based on a sliding scale depending on the total number of user subscriptions purchased. Centre name on certificates When a centre purchases subscriptions for trainees, the centres name will appear on the trainees' record of achievement and the action plan for learning. Custom tests in TestVQ TestVQ can be used to deliver your own test content, either alongside existing tests in TestVQ or independently. Just give us a call to discuss your specific requirements.
