iPad for examinations

Technology enables us to deliver keep our students safe, and our examinations secure.

iPad examinations

Before the pandemic, all our PPC examinations were sat in physical spaces and were hand written. In June 2020 we had to find a technical solution to run our examinations as postponing the examinations for a trainee solicitor would affect their qualifying date as a solicitor. iPad was key to our solution.

Each student used their iPad to run a Zoom meeting where they joined a group of students and an Invigilator. iPad and Zoom was used for remote invigilating of the examinations. Once the students’ completed the written examinations iPad was used to scan and email the written answer booklets back to the Examinations Unit for correcting.
