Schools who recruit pupils directly without the services of an agency often face the challenge of assuring that entrance examinations are taken under strict conditions in the candidate’s home country. Connexcel can provide UK Boarding School Test Centres and supply independent staff and supervised venues. It can offer the perfect set of solutions including the provision of remote invigilation. Schools can be reassured that prospective pupils will be able to sit tests in a convenient and approved location under supervision.
The benefits to schools
• The reassurance associated with using a trusted and professional organisation
• The knowledge that the candidate’s papers are a true reflection of their ability and potential
• The service of dedicated and experienced Connexcel staff who can liaise between the schools and the candidates
• The provision of a very cost-effective, even cost-neutral option for schools
• The opportunity for Admissions Teams to use their time more effectively by releasing the burden of the organisation and supervision of tests in different time zones
The benefits to the candidate
• The reassurance associated with using a trusted and professional organisation
• The service of dedicated and experienced Connexcel staff who can liaise between the schools and the candidates
• The opportunity to sit entrance papers in a regulated and convenient location
• The possibility to be examined in their own time zone, at the most appropriate time of day for the pupil rather than at a time when they might perhaps not perform at their best
• The provision of a more appropriate venue than the current school or a third-party agent, both of which can be an uncomfortable option for parents and candidate
The services that Connexcel can offer
• Thorough ID checks
• Invigilation according to the exact instruction of the school

• Videorecording of the invigilation of the tests, kept on file for 14 days and available to the school on request
