A candidate takes a one hour skills test at an approved centre in, for example, Manila via the Rigtalk platform.
The results are held on a secure server. Reading and listening scores are given by the system, writing and speaking are scored by an experienced, native English speaking assessor, who is able to access Rigtalk from anywhere in the world.
The final score, a mix of manual and automated marking, is returned electronically to the approved centre within 48 hours.
