The Challenge
BIFS wanted to directly offer its own digitally-delivered exams across its partner network, enabling candidates to access assessments and receive timely, accurate feedback.
To achieve this, BIFS required an eAssessment platform capable of supporting secure multiple-choice assessments, whilst ensuring exam integrity was maintained. They also wanted a managed service to take care of adding assessments and setting up exam schedules.
The Solution
To help BIFS deliver exams directly to its students, eCom implemented eNetAssess, our digital assessment platform, supported by eNetSecure, our secure browser application. This allowed multiple-choice assessments to be delivered across BIFS programmes with complete confidence in exam security and integrity.
In addition, eCom provided the fully managed service BIFS were looking for, handling assessment uploads and exam scheduling on their behalf. Implementation was quick - from initial sign-up to going live took only around three weeks - with every exam running successfully.
The Benefits
Using our managed service together with eNetAssess, BIFS has been able to deliver online exams confidently and securely to its students and partner institutions across multiple locations. The system’s reliability has created a seamless experience for both candidates and administrators.
Throughout the process, BIFS benefited from eCom’s expert guidance and proactive support, ensuring every stage of implementation and delivery ran smoothly. Having gone live within just three weeks, the platform continues to provide a scalable, easy-to-manage assessment solution that supports professional certification.
The success of this implementation has strengthened BIFS’s ability to serve the Caribbean’s financial services sector while maintaining international standards of exam quality and integrity.
