Online and supervised examinations
Manage eligibility, schedules, timers, duration, question delivery, supervision, auto-correction, grading, and result communication.
Assessment and certification
Convert learning activity into governed evidence of progress and achievement.
BaseCamp connects examinations, assignments, appraisals, practical evaluations, grading, feedback, pass and repeat rules, progress deliberation, remediation, completion, and certification. Organizations can evaluate learning consistently while retaining the context needed for fair decisions and meaningful follow-up.

Overview
Assessment should support decisions, not simply produce a score
Organizations assess learning for different reasons. Some need to confirm regulatory or safety competence. Others evaluate professional knowledge, practical skill, behavioral development, readiness for a new role, or completion of a broader learning track. A single percentage cannot represent all of these purposes unless the underlying rules and evidence are clear.
BaseCamp can support online examinations, supervised examinations, assignments, appraisals, practical evaluations, feedback, auto-correction where appropriate, grading, pass and fail conditions, repeat limits, waiting periods, remediation, and result communication. The platform can preserve attempts and evidence so authorized reviewers understand how a completion decision was reached.
Progress deliberation brings individual results into a wider development context. Learning teams can review completed, attempted, pending, failed, repeated, exempted, or recognized learning against the learner’s track or objective. Certification can then follow approved criteria, including issue, validity, renewal, expiry, replacement, suspension, or revocation processes where relevant. Program evaluation can combine learner feedback, achievement evidence, participation, adoption, provider performance, and cost context to improve future learning design without reducing every outcome to one score.
Connected process
Move from assessment design to a defensible achievement record
A controlled assessment lifecycle protects fairness, consistency, security, and the value of the resulting certificate or decision.
- 01
Define the purpose and evidence
Clarify what knowledge, skill, behavior, or completion state is being evaluated and which evidence is acceptable.
- 02
Set eligibility and rules
Configure prerequisites, attempt limits, timing, supervision, question or rubric structure, pass criteria, weighting, exemptions, and repeat conditions.
- 03
Conduct the assessment
Deliver online, supervised, practical, assignment-based, appraisal, or blended evaluation with appropriate access and support.
- 04
Grade and review
Apply auto-correction where suitable, instructor or reviewer grading, moderation, comments, feedback, exception handling, and approval.
- 05
Deliberate progress
Compare evidence with course, track, role, compliance, or development requirements and decide completion, remediation, repeat, or escalation.
- 06
Certify and monitor
Issue approved certificates or attestations, retain history, communicate status, and manage validity, renewal, expiry, or revocation where configured.
Capabilities
Assessment capabilities for different forms of learning evidence
The platform can combine objective scoring with expert judgment and broader progress review.
Assignments and practical evidence
Collect uploads, reviewer observations, practical demonstrations, projects, supporting documents, comments, and approved scores.
Appraisals and evaluations
Support structured performance or learning reviews with criteria, reviewers, ratings, comments, recommendations, and follow-up.
Pass, repeat, and remediation rules
Define thresholds, attempt history, waiting periods, prerequisite consequences, additional learning, and exception approval.
Progress deliberation
Review completed, attempted, pending, failed, repeated, recognized, or exempted learning against tracks and development expectations.
Certification
Issue and track completion evidence, certificate identifiers, validity, renewal, expiry, replacement, suspension, and revocation where required.
Program evaluation and feedback
Review learner feedback, performance evidence, participation, adoption, provider quality, and follow-up recommendations to improve future programs.
Governance
Protect assessment integrity and certificate meaning
Assessment governance should be proportionate to the consequence of the decision being made.
Assessment ownership
Assign responsibility for design, question or rubric quality, eligibility, pass criteria, review cycles, and retirement.
Security and access
Control privileged examinations, candidate access, reviewer roles, question exposure, result visibility, and audit information.
Moderation and appeals
Define second review, approval, correction, challenge, exceptional circumstance, and final decision procedures.
Certification authority
Specify who may approve issue, renewal, suspension, replacement, or revocation and how evidence is retained.
Implementation readiness
Validate the decision model before automating it
Assessment configuration should begin with approved policy and representative evidence—not with question entry alone.
Classify assessment types
Identify exams, assignments, practicals, appraisals, feedback, moderation, and certification needs by learning program.
Document decision rules
Agree eligibility, attempts, weighting, pass, repeat, remediation, deliberation, approval, appeal, and certificate conditions.
Prepare secure content
Create or migrate questions, rubrics, criteria, templates, evidence requirements, and access controls under named ownership.
Pilot complete cases
Test normal, failed, repeated, exempted, appealed, corrected, expired, renewed, and revoked scenarios with authorized roles.
Monitor quality
Review item performance, grading consistency, completion trends, learner feedback, certificate status, and policy exceptions.
Operational value
Evidence that can support learning, compliance, and development decisions
BaseCamp helps retain the relationship between activity, result, rule, review, progress, and certification.
Multiple evidence types
Combine examinations, assignments, appraisals, practical work, attendance, feedback, and completion criteria.
Transparent progress
Show completed, pending, attempted, repeated, failed, recognized, or exempted learning against approved tracks.
Controlled certification
Link certificate decisions to verified completion and preserve the status history required for future reference.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about assessment and certification
Can BaseCamp automatically grade examinations?
Yes, where question types and rules support auto-correction. Other responses, assignments, practicals, and appraisals can require authorized human review.
Can learners repeat a failed assessment?
Yes. Attempt limits, waiting periods, prerequisites, remediation, approval, and repeat conditions can be configured according to policy.
What is progress deliberation?
It is the structured review of completed, attempted, pending, failed, repeated, recognized, or exempted learning against a learner’s track, role, or development objective.
Can certificates have expiry and renewal dates?
Yes. Where included in the implementation, certificates can carry validity, renewal, expiry, replacement, suspension, or revocation information.
Can managers receive assessment results?
Authorized managers or supervisors can receive relevant results or status according to privacy, role, and notification rules.
Can assessment changes be audited?
The implementation can retain attempts, results, approvals, corrections, reviewer actions, certificate status, and system logs appropriate to the agreed governance model.
