The Certification Problem

What's actually at risk in a credentialing exam

A credential is only as strong as the exam behind it

One integrity incident doesn't just affect a single sitting; it puts every certificate you've already issued under question.

Candidates sit from anywhere

Global delivery means testing centers, home proctoring, and time zones all need to meet the same standard, not a patchwork of local exceptions.

Recertification never stops

Unlike a one-time exam, certification is a continuous cycle: the same items, banks, and integrity controls have to hold up year after year.

Built For Certification Bodies

Built for the full life of a credential

Global secure delivery

Works across proctored testing centers and remote delivery, so candidates in different regions sit the same exam under the same conditions.

A record that defends a challenged result

A timestamped, exportable audit trail for every sitting, so a disputed credential decision can be defended years after the exam.

Item banking built for recertification

TomaBank keeps a versioned, reusable question bank across recertification cycles, so items aren't rewritten from scratch every year.

Smart Defense for high-value credentials

Identity verification and understanding checks calibrated for exams where the credential itself is the target of fraud.

Per-jurisdiction compliance

GDPR compliance and configurable regional data residency, so a global candidate base can be served under local data protection requirements.

From one exam window to continuous testing

Scales from a fixed annual sitting to rolling, on-demand certification testing without changing platforms.

Rolling Out

One certification track at a time

1

Pilot one certification track

Most certification bodies start with a single credential or exam track, run alongside the existing process for one cycle.

2

Validate integrity and reporting

Audit trail, item performance, and accreditation reporting are checked against the pilot before wider rollout.

3

Expand across the credential portfolio

Additional certification tracks move onto the same platform, sharing banks and integrity controls across the whole portfolio.

“With Tomax VIX we slashed costs, scaled assessments to 32 countries, and deliver results faster – all while meeting every compliance bar.”

Common questions

Every sitting produces a timestamped record (identity verification, session activity, and any Smart Defense responses) that's exportable as evidence when a credential decision is disputed, even years later.
