ECS launches Remote Invigilation service in response to Covid-19 restrictions

摘要

The Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) has announced the launch of a pilot for an online invigilation service for the ECS Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Assessment as well as other new assessments through the ECS digital platforms. Responding to concerns regarding increased travel to assessment centres, especially as some have been closed due to Covid, the ECS has been working hard to see how it can better support its customers to ensure they can easily undertake their HSE Assessment needed when renewing or applying for an ECS card. The new online service is aimed at offering ECS cardholders and employers with the choice of undertaking the assessment without having to travel to an assessment centre. World class technology for automated invigilation using Al-powered, behavioural monitoring and verification tools provides a new facility for the industry to avoid unnecessary delays. With no requirements for downloading programs or browser extensions, users have the freedom to securely and safely complete their HSE Assessment at anytime and anywhere. The powerful Al technology solution monitors the assessment to enhance the already stringent measures to prevent fraudulent activity.
