Abstract

See full text

The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods and systems for an on Demand Test Facility Provider System (DTFPS). The DTFPS enables the deployment of testing facilities on demand. Generally, the invention enables interactions between four actors: a testing authority, a testing provider, a testing facility, and a test candidate. The testing authority is a body having the credentials and authority to conduct testing over a pool of candidates. The test provider is a service provider arranging for the administration of testing. The test provider offloads the logistics of test administration from the testing authority and coordinates with test facilities, candidates, and the testing authority to provide the administration of various tests. Various components of the DTFPS take on the role of a test provider enabling the administration of a wide spectrum of tests for different groups of people. As such, the DTFPS may offer various types of tests to candidates by acting as a proxy for a testing authority. The candidates in many instances must qualify to sit for the tests. The test provider, e.g., the DTFPS, enables candidates to schedule tests, provides facilities for the actual test, collects and may grade the results, and may report the results to the testing authorities and candidates.
