Instant feedback

Don't waste time checking the results manually. You will receive them immediately after the end of the test. Decide whether to display the result on the respondent's screen or send it to an email address with a personalized message.

Constant monitoring of competencies

Support employees and sellers should regularly improve their competencies to ensure a high level of services and to know the current offer perfectly. Knowledge tests allow for regular monitoring of qualifications and sending the employee for training if necessary.

Identification of the advantages and disadvantages of training

Feedback from training participants is crucial for organizers and trainers. If the knowledge tests are unsatisfactory, adjusting the level of classes and the workshop offered to the group's capabilities may be necessary.

Versatility of use

Knowledge tests have many uses. They effectively examine competencies (GDPR, knowledge of the platform, compliance), knowledge after training or experience of candidates. Psychological and personality tests are also popular among HR specialists.
