Pitman Training Centre Manchester is one of the major exam and e-Assessment Centres in the North West. We provide an extensive range of e-assessment services for a number of professional and governments bodies and software vendors.
We also have a dedicated testing facility that allows individuals to book in and take a test. This can be useful if people are studying remotely or from books and need a centre to authenticate their learning. Testing facilities can be block booked by employers if required. We carry out numerous ECDL and MOS exams each month for students who have studied elsewhere.
e-Assessment is the use of computers and computer software to evaluate skills and knowledge in a certain area. It can range from on screen testing systems that automatically mark learners' tests (often providing almost instant feedback), to electronic portfolios where learners' work can be stored and marked. Both e-assessment and e-portfolios are becoming a fundamental part of modern business training and education. They are essential for personalised learning providing benefits for learners, trainers, employers and those involved with the administration of assessment within schools, colleges and training providers.
