How do I book a remote invigilation?
At the time of booking an e-volve online test centres can opt for remote invigilation as the delivery method. This will be done by selecting the installation ID that begins with RLCG or RRCG followed by your centre code. This will appear as an option once your centre is approved for remote invigilation. City & Guilds will provide the required level of invigilation required for the test in question. Once you have made your booking the candidate will receive a session confirmation email that will provide the link to be used by the candidate to join the live invigilation session and a verification code. Results are available in the usual way for all e-volve tests.
How do you authenticate candidates?
Candidates are welcomed by an invigilator at the start of the test, they will be asked for their name and a form of photo ID to establish their identity. Additionally, they will have a facial scan taken and be asked for a voice sample. The facial scan and voice recognition will be used to check identity throughout the test.
How does the invigilation work and are the tests still secure?
After the identity of the candidate has been established the invigilator will perform an environment check. They will scan the room with the candidate’s webcam device to ensure the candidate hasn’t got access to any unrequired materials or accessing additional help. Throughout the test the invigilator is supported by artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor a whole range of audio/visual clues and candidate behaviours, all of which are flagged for review.
What’s the difference between Live Remote Invigilation and Record and Review?
Live remote invigilation is where the invigilator observes the test experience in real time. For the record and review option the test is reviewed by an invigilator after the test has taken place on the basis of AI flagged events.
