This college runs on-line tests through City & Guilds for Motor Vehicle and for IT. After initial hiccups these are running quite smoothly. We do not need Invigilators with any particlar skills as when any of our computerised exams are running we have a technician on call anyway. The only thing I would point out is if you have anyone entitled to extra time etc you will have to set this up in plenty of time in advance in order for the on-line test to stay available for longer than 1 hour etc. We actually have a candidate who is severely sight impaired and he has a reader for his on-line tests also. No problem! I have no experience with OCR but have found City & Guilds ON-Line Section very helpful and very supportive.

Subject: ON-LINE KEY SKILLS
Hi everyone
We are piloting on-line testing with OCR Key Skills and Basic Skills this academic year and was wondering if anyone could give us any pointers to watch out for whilst doing this for a large numbers of students
Does anyone do this via City & Guilds? or other awarding bodies?
I am keen to share good practice and ensure that we reduce the amount of paperwork and errors which may occur which could disadvantage students
What would be extremely helpful is if anyone has produced a document - like a crib sheet which gives instructions for invigilators of on-line tests, also perhaps a procedure for the process
Any feedback would be gratefully received as we want to make this work for all concerned
Thanks
