The Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP) is an HR professional body set up to professionalize and strengthen the HR practice in Singapore. IHRP implements several national human capital programs, such as IHRP Certification, Skills Framework for HR, and Human Capital Diagnostics Tool (HCDT). It is the only organization in Singapore authorized to implement the national HR credentials, known as IHRP Certification.
IHRP has the goal of setting the HR standards of excellence, developing HR as a strategic enabler of business and workforce transformation, and fostering a vibrant HR services ecosystem to drive innovation and change.
IHRP has been conducting certification and other national programs in-person for years. They were looking for a robust remote proctoring solution that would help them transition from in-person to an online certification program without compromising the test’s integrity, expanding the reach of the program globally. Furthermore, the pandemic necessitated providing a safe environment for all certification candidates. Talview, with its state-of-the-art, fully automated proctoring solution, was the perfect fit.
Talview provided IHRP a suite of features to safeguard the integrity of exam, while not impacting test-taker’s overall experience, including:
Face recognition
360° environmental check
Disable copy & paste function
Fingerprinting
Screen freezing
Question paper watermarking
Once IHRP shifted their certification completely online, the association certified over 800 professionals in 4 months!
