Pennine Awarding — Awarding organisation

Remote invigilation at scale for a national awarding body

Pennine Awarding moved 12,000 high-stakes exams a year to human-led remote invigilation with Wayvero Invigilate — without growing their operations team.

The challenge

Pennine’s qualifications are delivered nationally, but their exam centres weren’t. Candidates travelled hours for a 90-minute sitting, centres were expensive to run, and scaling meant hiring invigilators in every region.

What we did

We deployed Invigilate as their remote invigilation platform with the fully managed delivery option: Wayvero’s trained invigilators run the live sessions, while Pennine’s standards team retains oversight through review dashboards and complete session records.

The outcome

Candidates sit exams from home with a human invigilator, integrity evidence is stronger than in-room delivery, and Pennine scaled to new regions without opening a single centre.

Candidates sit exams from home, our standards team watches the integrity dashboards, and the operational weight sits with Wayvero. It just runs.
