Digital Assessment Solutions | Transform assessment with RM

What does RM Assessment do?

At RM, we support the creation, delivery and marking of paper and digital assessments across general and professional qualifications, from in-class tests to high stakes exams, for customers in more than 160 countries.

RM’s journey into digital assessment began more than twenty years ago with the launch of our first on-screen marking capability. Since then, we have continuously evolved, building our capabilities across e-marking and e-testing and becoming a global partner for accreditors and educators. Everything we build is anchored in one idea: that the assessment experience should work better for more candidates. So, our focus is on making assessment more relevant and more adaptable, giving every learner the chance to show what they can do.

Our aim is clear. We want to become the world-class platform for learner assessment, helping more partners move confidently from paper to hybrid or fully digital assessment while improving the candidate experience.

What do we mean by 'digital assessment'?

A new era in digital assessment

Welcome to adaptive virtual accreditation, RM Ava.

RM Ava brings our suite of existing assessment tools together, alongside new modules we are developing, into a single sign-on platform. That platform will support the full assessment cycle, from content creation and secure online testing, through to AI-driven marking and feedback. It will support all types of qualifications, from high-stakes school exams such as GCSEs and A Levels to professional certifications
including accounting and technical assessments. Whatever is being assessed and however many candidates are involved, RM Ava will make the process accessible, secure and reliable.

Having everything in one platform matters. Customers moving to digital assessment at scale need a solution that can grow with them. RM Ava is being built to scale rapidly and to reach learners wherever they are in the world. It is also being designed for continuous innovation so new features can be added more easily as new customer needs and technology evolve. Most importantly, it will lay the foundation for a brilliant candidate experience, enabling a more seamless and personalised assessment process that helps each learner perform at their best.
