Learning and exam software, built for the busiest morning

The parts of an education product that cost you an account when they go wrong. Courses and learner records. Question banks and timed exams. Exams taken at home with somebody watching. Marking help. Certificates with expiry dates and renewal reminders. And the connections that push results back into your customers' own software. We also own LoopIQ, a working learning and testing platform, so some of this is setting up what already exists rather than building from nothing. After launch we keep it running for a monthly fee, with somebody watching it, fixing it and keeping it safe.

Only with a person at the end of it. The software gives a first mark on written and short answers against your own marking guide, and shows how it got there. A marker then confirms or changes every mark before a learner sees anything. Every change is recorded, so moderation, appeals and awarding body audits have a trail to follow. We also track how often the software and your markers agree, and the feature can be switched off without taking the exam platform down with it.

Nothing, until a person looks. During an exam taken at home the software watches the camera and the screen and flags things like a switched tab, an empty seat or a second face. Every flag lands on a review list with the recording attached, and one of your people makes the call. Wrong flags are common when exams happen at home. A student failed by a machine, with no evidence and no way to appeal, is a complaint you cannot answer, so we never let the software decide on its own.

That is usually what decides a tender, so we scope it first. We build one login, student lists, and results going back into the student record software, CRMs and HR tools your customers run. We also build to SCORM, xAPI and LTI, the exchange standards buying teams ask for by name, which are agreed ways for course software to swap material and results with other tools. Where an institution runs something unusual, we connect to it directly. All of it goes into the fixed price with everything else, so it never turns up later as a surprise line.

It starts with a 30-minute call. After that you get the scope, the dates and the price in writing before anything is built, so you know what is in and what is not. The price depends on whether LoopIQ, the platform we already own, fits your product or whether this is a build from scratch, and on how many other tools your customers need it to talk to. Keeping it running afterwards is a separate monthly fee. We quote both on the same call, so you can budget for the year rather than only for the launch.

We keep it running. A monthly fee covers somebody watching it, fixes within a promised time, small improvements, security updates and a report each month showing what broke, what changed and what we would do next. For an education product that means somebody paying attention during sign-up week and exam windows, not only on a quiet Tuesday. If you would rather run it yourself, we hand over written instructions and stay reachable. Either way our advice is the same: an exam window cannot be moved, so somebody has to be watching the morning it opens.
