Remote invigilation

Remote invigilation allows eligible learners to complete onscreen examinations remotely, without attending a physical test centre. Learners can take their assessment from a suitable location, such as their home or workplace, while being supervised online.

Remote invigilation provides a flexible alternative to traditional assessment delivery, helping eligible learners access examinations without the need to travel to a physical assessment location.

Remote invigilation is available for EAL centres delivering eligible regulated qualifications, and training providers delivering eligible end-point assessments.

It is available only for approved onscreen examinations and assessments where EAL has confirmed that remote delivery is permitted. Learners will also need to meet the relevant technical and assessment environment requirements to take an examination remotely.

EAL determines which centres, qualifications and assessments are approved for remote invigilation.

Learners complete their examination from a controlled remote environment using EAL’s assessment platform and an approved remote proctoring service.

Before the assessment begins, checks are carried out to confirm the learner and their assessment environment meet the required conditions. The assessment session is securely recorded for review, helping to maintain assessment security and integrity throughout the process.
