Last month, BTL Learning & Assessment hit yet another milestone by delivering its 10 millionth exam using the Surpass Assessment Platform.
Surpass was launched in 2008, following its development in partnership with a number of high profile Awarding Organisations in the UK. The new secure summative assessment solution was an instant success, and since 2008 BTL have established an impressive client list. 2013 saw the launch of Surpass Editions, a secure cloud-based solution which has enabled new organisations, from professional awarding organisations to universities across the globe, to deliver high-stakes assessment and tests securely and with confidence. The education sector is seeing many great changes and technology acting as an enabler to better standards of learning and assessment. Reports like FELTAG and ETAG have only served to re-enforce the importance of the need for identifying best practice in education through technology.
At this time, Surpass is being used in over 95 countries across the globe, who have all contributed to this 10million milestone. Thanks to recent innovations, high-stakes assessments can be delivered across a range of devices, including tablets, which is opening new opportunities to organisations that recently may not have been able to invest in digital test centres, or organisations that have a BYOD or CYOD policy.
BTL continues to maintain and update Surpass in accordance with industry developments and customer requests, and expects the number of tests being delivered to increase dramatically as it gains additional clients across Europe and the rest of the world.
