An overwhelming majority of candidates taking professional qualifications now prefer to take them remotely, online instead of in a traditional test centre setting, according to the latest market research from EdTech solutions provider, Eintech. The findings come after global use of remote online assessment tools skyrocketed over the past few years due to the onset of the pandemic, and suggest that a more long-term switch to eAssessments is preferable for most learners.
The research was commissioned by Eintech to provide a glimpse into how real users of remote online assessment platforms found their experiences, in order to better understand the positioning of the technology in the future of the education sector. 150 individuals in the UK were surveyed, all of whom had undertaken some form of remote online professional assessment across a range of online learning platforms, within the past 18 months. The enthusiasm towards eAssessments was clear, with 89% finding their exam to be user-friendly, and 45% stating that there was nothing they disliked about the process.
