This system was written to provide the RSS with an efficient way of managing their professional exams. Every year 700+ papers are taken by 200+ candidates in several countries. The systems tracks Exam Centres, venues (centres may have more than one venue) and Candidates entries, special needs and individual timetable.
To be awarded a qualification a candidate may need to pass several papers, not necessarily at the same sitting, and the system records historical passes and the progress status of each award for each Candidate.
Candidate contact details are picked up from the central iMIS CRM.
Final award certificates are generated automatically by the system, created as a Word document, customised for each Candidate with the exam entries contributing to the award, the mark for those exams and the date passed.
This system replaced a complex one which used a mixture of an Access database, several spreadsheets, and manual paper records.
