Customised High Quality Testing​
The Password journey started in the UK back in 2003 when, as a senior manager of
Brunel University London, I was tasked with trebling the number of international
students. One of the tools I needed to achieve this was a secure way of reliably
assessing the English language capabilities of students applying to the
University.
Having developed our own paper-based English test and realising its drawbacks, I
tried to set up a consortium of universities to develop a better and more secure
online version of the test. Whilst there was much interest in the idea, turning
it into reality proved impossible. As the saying goes, and meaning no offence to
universities or cats as I am rather fond of them both, it was like trying to
herd cats!
I therefore decided in 2008 to go it alone and with the help of
some funding from the University of the Arts London began an amazing journey
which has helped not only UK universities recruit and retain more international
students but has given universities, colleges, schools and employers across the
world accurate, reliable and secure English language and Maths tests which are
used for more purposes than I could ever have dreamt of. From Afghanistan to
Zimbabwe, Password tests are now used in over 120 countries around the world.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our partners for your
inspiration and ideas which continue to guide us to develop and improve our test
products and services to better suit your needs.
