Security & Exam Integrity

Security is engineered, not assumed.

From the moment a candidate reaches the building to the moment they sit down to test, every step is deliberate — CCTV monitoring, verified check-in, secure storage and professional administration, layered rather than left to chance.

Outer To Inner

Six layers stand between the outside world and the exam

No single measure carries the weight of exam integrity on its own. Each layer below narrows what's possible, so that by the time a candidate is seated, security isn't something to hope for — it's already in place.

BUILDING ACCESS RECEPTION & CHECK-IN ID VERIFICATION LOCKERS TESTING ROOM INVIGILATION
01 — Outer Layer

Controlled from the ground floor up

Before any candidate reaches reception, access into the building and onto the testing floor is controlled — the first boundary between a public street and a secure examination room.

02 — Reception

A staffed, professional first point of contact

Every candidate is received by trained staff who run check-in to the same standard, every time — the start of a process built around accountability, not assumption.

03 — Verification

Confirming who's sitting the exam

Identity verification and security checks are completed before a candidate is permitted into the testing room — a deliberate, unhurried step that protects the credibility of every result that follows.

04 — Belongings

Nothing enters the room that shouldn't

Personal belongings are stored in secure lockers, with allocation completed before entry into the testing room — removing opportunity for interference, not just the risk of it.

05 — The Room

Every seat, in view

Workstations are positioned so CCTV coverage reaches every seat in the room. Coverage isn't assumed — camera angles are checked seat by seat, including with a dummy candidate raising a hand to confirm nothing sits outside frame.

06 — Inner Layer

Experienced oversight, throughout

CCTV feeds are monitored live from a location close to reception and the testing room, and professional invigilation is available as an additional layer of oversight for exam programmes that call for it.
