What our customers say
We got everything up and running within the 14 days. It was really impressive and something that we thought would be much more difficult to do on such a large scale.
Deputy Director | Provincial Department
This team got every single student through the exam with a professional attitude, support and kindness. I am so lucky that I found this company. I am never going back to writing a paper-based exam.
Program Director | University of the Free State
Synap came to our rescue when we needed a platform for computer-based testing, with a short turnaround time. Easy to use. We are very impressed with Synap and hope to continue working with them for our annual testing needs.
