PROCTORING SERVICES
As an increasing number of students study away from their university campus, a growing number of universities require their students to take their assessments under supervised conditions – this is Greene’s proctoring service.
GREENE’S AS A PROCTORING SERVICE PROVIDER
Greene’s has operated as an authorised and independent centre for examinations for 50 years for both Greene’s students and private candidates from all over the world. We have worked with independent testing organisations, public examination bodies and a number of higher education institutions.
Experienced and trained invigilators ensure that exam and testing rules are followed and academic integrity and ethical standards maintained. Candidate identities are rigorously checked. Invigilators also ensure the well-being of candidates and security of exams papers. We recognise that each proctored exam is different and so we also ensure that any specific institutional guidelines or instructions are prepared for and followed.
At all our centres exam sessions are small and the service individual. At Greene’s every candidate has their own particular needs that we strive to meet.
Exams sessions are held in a calm and quiet environment. For example, at our premises in central Oxford, exams and other tests take place in small rooms that accommodate between four and twelve candidates each. The exam experience at Greene’s is significantly different to that at any other U.K. college or school – sessions are small and our service personal.
Greene’s provide proctoring services either directly for institutions or for individual students on behalf of the institution where they are studying.
Proctored exams and tests can take place at our premises in central Oxford (U.K.); and in our college in Portugal (Estoril). Unfortunately, we cannot offer proctored exams at weekends or on U.K. public holidays for exams in Oxford or on Portuguese public holidays for exams in Estoril.
HOW DOES THE SERVICE WORK?
FOR INSTITUTIONS
Institutions wishing to arrange one or more proctored tests should contact the Exams Officer at: examsofficer@greenes.org.uk. Institutional discounts on individual candidate fees are available depending on advance booking, student numbers, length of each test and number of different tests booked. Please contact us for further details.
FOR INDIVIDUALS
Please complete the online application form below to make a proctoring request. Put in your request as early as possible and no later than two weeks before your preferred test day to avoid additional charges. Whether or not we can accept your request may depend on the amount of time your institution needs to prepare and send test papers and instructions.
Remember – you must bring two pieces of identification with you on the day of the test – at least one of which must have an easily recognisable and recent photograph of yourself.
FEES
Individual candidates, please note that the fee per test hour is always rounded up – i.e. the hourly test fee for a test lasting two hours and 15 minutes is the same as for a test lasting two hours and 50 minutes.
Payment can be made by debit or credit card or bank transfer. We cannot accept payment by cheque or cash. The proctoring fees for individual candidates are:
