“An excellent user conference. The Surpass Platform [covers] vocational qualification assessment, professional certification, higher education and school assessments from users worldwide. Representatives from these fields share experiences of designing, developing and delivering assessments [in Surpass] making it a great place to find ... good practice and make contact with your peers.”

“

“Opportunities to collaborate on features like the audio question type are one of the many benefits of being an engaged member of the Surpass Community. By working with other organisations who had a set of requirements which aligned with WJEC's, we’ve been able to achieve a more advanced piece of functionality for a fraction of the cost of what we would have had to invest if we were to do it on our own.”

“The Surpass Conference highlights the fantastic sense of community the [Surpass] team have fostered. It was hugely beneficial and plenty of fun, too. Highly recommended.”
