A fair assessment starts with a confident candidate.

That's why accessibility, simplicity and candidate experience sit at the heart of Vantage, Innovate Awarding's online invigilation service.

By creating a clear, intuitive experience, we help candidates focus on what matters most - demonstrating their knowledge and skills.

The results speak for themselves:
⭐ 4.88/5 average proctor rating
⭐ 90.7% of candidates awarded their proctor 5 stars

One candidate told us:

"Ash put me at ease, and I felt comfortable doing the exam from home. Very friendly and informative."

If you're exploring new approaches to remote invigilation, we'd love to hear from you.

Simple. Intuitive. Human.

When it comes to remote invigilation, the experience matters.

That’s why we built Vantage – Innovate Awarding’s online invigilation service designed around the people using it. A platform that helps candidates feel at ease, supports invigilators, and keeps assessments running smoothly.

We're proud to see:
⭐ 4.79/5 average session rating from candidates
⭐ 85% of candidates awarding their session 5 stars

And feedback like:

"The proctor made me feel very calm. He explained everything thoroughly... really lovely presence."

If you're reviewing your approach to remote invigilation, we'd love to talk.
