What our customers say

  • We needed to provide examinations during the pandemic and Synap supported us to transfer from paper to electronic assessments quickly and easily. The platform offered ease of use. Synap provides excellent support.

    Director of Education | IHRIM

  • 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

  • The best thing about the system is how straightforward it is to learn how to use it. I felt very confident in creating courses after a very short amount of time. Once content has been added to the library, I can put together a new course in 10 minutes.
