Couldn't recommend it any higher. We've had over 500 students pass their exam as a result of Synap's platform. Top notch — students love it and the support from Synap has been invaluable.
Jamie B
Driver Services Manager | FreeNow
I am never going back to writing a paper-based exam and I will not use another examination provider. This team got every single student through the exam with a professional attitude, support and kindness.
Henda S
Program Director | University of the Free State
Previously we were only able to offer our exams, in person at a select testing location, once a year, now we are able to offer our exams monthly! The product is easy to use, easy to set up, affordable, and customer service is so fast and helpful.
