Why Talentec LAMS

Three things it has to do well. It does.

Authoring

Ten question types, versioned question banks with owners, tags, difficulty and level, and exams composed from sections, selection rules, scoring bands and branching. Preview before you publish; versions are pinned so results never drift.

Reporting

A cohort report for every exam: who sat, who passed, and how each learner scored, released only once marking is complete. Item analysis, dashboards and exports are on the roadmap.

Analytics suite: roadmap

Learner experience

A clean learner portal: available exams, my attempts, sit, result and feedback. A server-controlled timer and autosaved answers mean a dropped connection is an inconvenience, not a disaster.

Product · available now

Ten question types. Every one marked automatically where it can be.

Objective types are marked the moment a learner submits. Essays and file uploads land in a marking queue for an assessor.

Question banks

Libraries with owners, tags, difficulty and level. Publish immutable versions; restore, duplicate or retire; preview before you publish.

Exam composition

Sections, ordering and selection rules that draw questions per learner. Scoring and feedback bands, branching, sign-off and a publish preflight. Versions are pinned so results never drift.

Scheduling

Assign exams to learners and learner groups, allow self-enrolment, and set assessment windows.

Secure delivery

A server-authoritative exam player: server timer, answer locking, per-learner question draw, leak-safe question manifests, integrity events. Nothing changes after submit.

Marking

Automatic marking for every objective type. Essays and uploads land in a marking queue with feedback. Results are released only when marking is complete.

Learner portal

Available exams, my attempts, sit, result and feedback. Desktop and tablet for high-stakes assessments; phones for practice.

Roles and permissions

Role-based access with every action authorised server-side, a per-user effective-permission preview, multi-factor authentication and audited support access.

Your data in its own database

Each customer's learners, questions and results live in a separate database, not a shared table with a customer column.

Audit log

Who did what, when. Every change to a question, exam, schedule or mark is recorded.

Imports

Bulk question import from Excel or CSV. Multiple choice today; other types coming.

Exam reports

A per-exam cohort report the moment marking is complete: results and feedback for every learner who sat.

Built for SA training providers

Learner, assessor, moderator and invigilator roles, in the vocabulary SETA- and QCTO-accredited providers already use.

How it works

From question bank to cohort report in six steps.

  1. Author

    Write questions in ten types, tag them, set difficulty and level, and publish versions to a question bank.

  2. Compose

    Build the exam from sections and selection rules; set scoring bands, feedback and branching; run preflight and sign off.

  3. Schedule

    Assign to learners or groups, open self-enrolment, and set the assessment window.

  4. Deliver

    Learners sit in the server-authoritative player: their own question draw, a server timer and locked answers.

  5. Mark

    Objective types mark themselves. Essays and uploads queue for an assessor, with feedback.

  6. Report

    Release results once marking is complete and read the cohort report for the exam.

Security & trust

Built to be trusted.

High-stakes assessment only works if nobody, including the learner's browser, gets to decide the outcome. So the server does.

  • Server-authoritative delivery.The timer, the question draw and answer locking all live on the server; the browser only displays them.
  • Your data in its own database.Each customer is isolated in a separate database, not a shared table.
  • Role-based access on every action.Every request is authorised server-side, and you can preview any user's effective permissions.
  • Multi-factor authentication.A second factor for the people who author, schedule and mark.
  • Full audit trail.Who did what, when, across questions, exams, schedules and marks.
  • Audited support access.When our support team needs to look, it is logged and visible to you.
  • Nothing changes after submit.Exam versions are pinned to attempts, so a result means the same thing next year as it does today.
  • Cloud-based.No servers to run; updates land without a visit from us.
  • Built and supported in South Africa.Designed with SA training providers and supported from George, Western Cape.
