Cirrus launches a new assessment consultancy service to help organisations strengthen high-stakes exam delivery, offering practical support across governance, digital transformation and programme design in an increasingly scrutinised assessment landscape.
What does delivering high-stakes assessments really look like behind the scenes? Robbie Burns shares reflections from years working with assessment teams managing operational pressure, risk and complex exam processes.
This Q1 2026 Cirrus platform update introduces bulk reporting exports, enhanced candidate data insights and automated schedule management, helping assessment teams streamline workflows, improve analysis and manage exam delivery more efficiently at scale.
