Designing, developing and delivering professional assessments and qualifications that raise industry standards
About us
As part of the Kaplan group, Kaplan Assessments are a recognised expert in industry-specific assessments and professional qualifications – all designed, developed and delivered with deep insight and understanding of your industry, and based on robust, reliable methods. We’re uniquely positioned to operate independently yet still leverage the wisdom, experience and network from within the wider Kaplan group. Whether you need a short qualification, an award focusing on a new, up and coming area of your industry, or a major overhaul of an existing qualification regime, our ability to tailor a solution to meet your organisation’s precise needs is what sets us apart. We take a modular approach, so can provide any combination of design, development and delivery for full qualifications or just for the assessment elements specifically. You may find that existing qualifications struggle to cover the right topics, and that they're too broad in their approach without addressing the specific competencies your business needs. You may want to elevate an existing internal training and assessment programme into a formal qualification as a way to attract employees and reassure clients. You may be wanting to completely overhaul the licensing pathway for your sector or industry, ensuring consistent standards that are better aligned with your modern day profession. Whatever your starting point, we can help. The Kaplan Assessments team has over 60 years combined experience in all aspects of high-stakes professional assessments across medical, legal and other professional services sectors. Harnessing that deep understanding, we will work with you to ensure that successful candidates really have earned the right to call themselves a professional. It’s essential that all candidates have a fair chance of achieving in their chosen career, so our approach ensures that diversity and inclusion are considered at all stages of assessment design, development and delivery.

Many might worry about their daily meals being prepared by AI-assisted technology; concerns about the precise seasoning, like how much salt to add, might top the list, fearing that traditional cooking intuition could be replaced by algorithmic decisions. But what if their test responses were also graded by AI? Two days ago, I enjoyed meeting with industry colleagues to discuss e-marking and its reliability. It was refreshing to be surrounded by people passionate about their work, sharing their visions for the future of e-assessment, particularly e-marking. Thank you to Adam from e-Assessment Association, and for excellent moderation Nikki Bardsley, and to panel members - Ben Rockliffe, Manjinder Kainth, PhD, Dr. James Lambert for creating an engaging discussion environment.

Sure, picking the right professional qualification for your workforce is important, but what about the awarding body? Awarding bodies should ensure that your assessment is: ✅ Rigorous ✅ Valid ✅ Reliable ✅ Current ✅ Robust But with skills needed in roles rapidly evolving, are they able to keep up with the transforming professional landscape? If not, the credibility of your professional qualification - and wider team - may be a cause of contention. Let’s continue the conversation 👉 https://lnkd.in/gA_GybNT
