Innovate Awarding

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.
