WHY CERTORY

Why Certory? Because every exam is a human moment.

Whether you examine students, certify professionals or run executive programmes — the reasons institutions choose Certory are remarkably similar. Here are the six that matter most.

100% human decisions

AI-free, biometrics-free

No downloads, no installs

Made in Europe

01

Real humans, end to end.

From ID check to invigilation, every decision at Certory is made by a qualified person — never by an algorithm. That is better for your test takers, and easier to stand behind for you.

No AI verdicts, no biometrics, no eye-tracking

Nobody gets flagged by a black box — we don't leave decisions to an algorithm.

A host, not a guard

A personal 1:1 welcome, a calm check-in, and real help when technology acts up.

Present, not intrusive

During the exam our proctors are silent observers — contact only when it truly helps.

02

At home in Europe — people first, data too.

Europe is not a hosting location for us. It is where our proctors live and work, where we train with them, and where your data stays.

Proctors we know by name

Carefully selected, continuously trained, working with us every single day. We can vouch for their professionalism — and so can you.

Data close to home

Hosted in Germany, working under the GDPR — and processing only what the exam itself requires.

The answer Europe asks for

More and more institutions look for an alternative to US-based, AI-driven proctoring. We are that alternative.
03

No hurdles. For anyone.

Entering a Certory exam is as easy as joining a video call — no downloads, no lockdown browser, no IT project. That is not just convenient, it is a question of fairness: exams should test knowledge, not device ownership.

Any device

Family laptop, library computer, locked-down company device — all welcome.

Any exam system

Whatever your exam system shows, we can proctor it — or start with the Certory exam add-on.

Three reasons in — curious about the rest? See them live in a real exam session.

One person who knows your setup — from onboarding through every exam season.

05

Integrity you can stand behind.

The point of proctoring is not watching people — it is protecting the value of what they achieve. That takes more than a checklist.

A trained eye

Proven processes and human judgment notice what checklists and algorithms often miss.

Identity checked by a person

ID verification and a guided 360° room scan — in a personal 1:1, not by facial recognition.

Decisions you can explain

Every observation is human-reviewed and clearly documented — no algorithm's verdict to defend.

A partner, not a platform.

Certory grew out of real examination practice — built by people who have run online exams themselves and know where they hurt.

Our roots are in academic examination practice — we know exams from the inside, not from a pitch deck.

People you can call

A dedicated success manager, stakeholder material for your learning lead, procurement and IT — we got you.

Grows with you

From ten exams to ten thousand — same standard, same people, no growing pains on your side.

Don't take our word for it.
