Enhanced Candidate Experience
The ICS Skills Automated Test System (ATS) provides a superior and economical in-application test. This means that during testing, your candidates will be working in the actual application, Word, Excel, etc., and not on simulated screens.  In-application testing delivers the most authentic test experience without the restrictions of a simulated system. The ICS Skills ATS will provide the easiest transition for centres that are accustomed to manual testing. In addition, automated testing carries the added advantage of:

• No test set-up or marking
• No paper records to store
• Immediate feedback to candidates
• Consistency of marking
• Enforcement of timing
• Quality-assured testing

Streamlined Processes for Centres
Centres using the ICS Skills ATS will enjoy the benefits of going automated as it streamlines your activities, saving you time and cutting out the need to duplicate work. Because this system is integrated with the ICS Skills .NET administration system, centres will no longer need a paper skills card.

Record Keeping Made Easy
The ICS Skills ATS gathers and keeps safe all results and candidate, class and module reports. This means that the administration burden on Centres will be eliminated as all the above can be accessed online by the ECDL Coordinator.

A One-Stop Shop
Centres obtain and manage their skills cards, courseware, tests and bundles through our website.

Saving You Money
All of this will come at a very competitive pricing structure, without additional licence or setup fees. The cost per test will be attractive, with a number of purchasing options available to our centres.
