Reliability
We operate stable systems in regards to the e-Exam and Onscreen marking platform, with the Chair Assessment Platform.
As part of SAM, we recognize the insight and importance of verifying quality of chairs. We have created the chair assessment from requests by representatives and the SAM administration.
Efficiency
With our e-Exam platform, we remove the hardship and inaccessible paper-based assessments. Still, we provide optional paper-based assessments upon request by conferences. The e-Exam platform also streamline our marking and results process which leads to faster marking and results for candidates.

We develop quality assessments that professionally assess a candidate's ability in chairing, including skills not in the Rules of Procedure.
