The Qualsafe at Home e-Assessment platform allows you to take your assessment, for specific Qualsafe Awards qualifications, from any location.

Assessment Type

The Qualsafe at Home e-Assessment platform is available for Multiple Choice Question paper assessments.

You will only have one attempt at each assessment and your attempt will be automatically marked by the system.

The Qualsafe at Home e-Assessment system allocates the time you have available to complete the assessment and, should you run out of time, the system will also automatically submit your attempt for you. Once you have submitted your assessment, you will not be able to access or review your attempt again.
