The National Examination Board of Occupational Safety and Healthy (NEBOSH) award globally recognised health, safety and environmental qualifications.
They approached PSP looking for an examination marking tool that would allow assessors to make anywhere and track all papers out for marking.

The initial phase of the development consisted of PSP creating a web version of their VISION CMS. This would mean that employees and examiners could access the tool and do their work from anywhere as majority of examiners work from home.
Each examiner is given a unique, secure login and they can access the web tool from any device (desktop, laptop, tablet, etc).
When papers are pulled into the system, they are automatically allocated to examiners based on set criteria. The criteria is customisable and typically includes:
Each examiner can see all their papers on their personal dashboard, which also includes marking criteria and NEBOSH employees were given administrator abilities which allowed them to:
The new online marking tool was developed using the DevExpress platform, including the addition of responsive pages for usage on a range of screen sizes.
The online marking tool instantly cut a substantial chunk of workload for the client, allowing them to manage, rather than administrate, the process.
Their exam marking process was streamlined thanks to the web-based tool and ensured they delivered a high-quality candidate experience while making operational cost savings.
The automatic scheduling of examiner worklad cut administrative workload substantially, while the real time dashboard gave administrators an at-a-glance view of the entire process without the need to manually update spreadsheets.
By working close with the client, we designed, developed and fine-tuned a versatile, fully-functioning system that provided their examination team with a centralised operation system that managed the full assessment and examination lifecycle.
