Approvals
To become approved to deliver Digital Literacy tests simply complete the approval form and return it to OCR Operations in Coventry and in return you will receive instructions on how to access the i-Assess e-Testing system with your login details.
Registering learners
As soon as your centre is approved and setup on the i-Assess e-Testing system you can register candidates, via the eTest2 administration website.
Fees and invoices
The Digital Literacy tests are charged at the unit entry fee. Please see the fees list for the latest prices. Your centre will be invoiced for each Digital Literacy test taken.
Examination and administration dates
The Digital Literacy tests are available on demand allowing you to schedule your test sessions at yours and your candidates' convenience. Candidates who do not pass their test are able to retake a test that will incur the standard fee.
Results
Candidates' results are available immediately after their result file has been uploaded. You can analyse e-Test results and give feedback to candidates on their performance within minutes of them completing their e-Test, via the etest2 administration website.
Candidates who have passed their Digital Literacy test will have certificates dispatched to their centre within 10 working days of OCR receiving the uploaded result file.
Software
There are two options for delivering the Digital Literacy tests and these are known as networked (SNA) and offline. Each of the delivery options has its own installation software.
