Control as much as you want to
- Software as a Service (SaaS) means that, unlike some other major providers, we empower you to take control of your own testing. Our services are on hand if you want help with test creation, or don’t have capacity, but you can decide what you control.
Secure and trusted data
- Surpass ensures your data is stored securely in segregated databases.
- The Surpass Platform is certified with ISO/IEC 27001:2013, an international standard in establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system.
- You’ll also benefit from secure multi-device & paper test delivery options – plus with our new tablet app, you can access a secure browser that works on iPads, as well as PCs.
Agile development
- A regular programme of product enhancements that are defined by the Surpass Community is at the heart of open-platform Surpass.
- Agile development in Surpass means reduced waiting times for new features and upgrades and the prioritisation of feature developments according to your needs.
- Our User Experience (UX) design team are involved throughout, to make your experience of using Surpass as intuitive as possible.
Great features
- Surpass Copilot, our new AI feature, is an option you can request to help item authors create distractors for Multiple Choice Question items.
- Access to standards setting technology directly within the Surpass Platform, to calculate your pass marks – apply the Angoff method as well as modified Angoff ratings to items for a seamless and efficient process.
- A standout new feature in the Surpass Platform is the Customisable Question Type framework, allowing organisations to create and upload their own new question types outside of the regular Surpass release cycle.
- Surpass customers can sponsor development to tailor Surpass to their exact requirements.
