Why Synap
More than an online test builder
Understand performance, not just results
Track how learners perform across assessments over time, spot patterns in your question bank, and give candidates a portal to monitor their own progress.
Secure delivery for serious programmes
Run structured exams and certifications with browser lockdown, identity checks, and proctoring options in one web-based platform—without asking candidates to install separate lockdown software.
