Streamlining NEBOSH's Exam Marking

NEBOSH’s traditional exam marking process was heavily reliant on spreadsheets and manual data entry, making it time-consuming and prone to errors. The administration team had to manually allocate exam papers to examiners, track deadlines and update paper statuses, which increased the risk of delays and inconsistencies. To address these challenges, NEBOSH required a centralised platform that could automatically manage examiner allocations, track progress and provide a comprehensive view of the marking status across multiple qualifications. The platform needed to be accessible from any device, offer customisable paper allocation and allow administrators to send automated notifications to examiners about approaching deadlines. 

PSP Developed a custom, web-based online exam marking platform using a tailored version of the VISION CMS, specifically designed to meet the unique Nebosh requirements. This solution enabled examiners to securely access personalised dashboards with detailed marking criteria from any device, with papers automatically assigned based on pre-set criteria, significantly reducing administrative overhead by eliminating manual spreadsheets. Administrators gained complete, real-time visibility into the marking process via a centralised dashboard, allowing for progress monitoring, efficient reallocation, and quick bottleneck identification. The platform offers responsive, user-friendly access for examiners and administrators across all devices, with automated email notifications to streamline communication and oversight.

The online exam marking platform significantly enhanced Nebosh`s examination operations by automating manual tasks and establishing a single source of truth. This streamlined administration, freed up staff, and provided real-time visibility for better oversight and quality control.

The platform also enabled improved data-driven decision-making through custom reports and delivered cost savings by reducing manual processes. This ultimately enhanced the candidate experience, proving to be a transformative solution for their examination operations.
