Requirements for setting up a CBT center

Requirements for setting up a CBT center

In this article, I will list out requirements for setting up a successful CBT center.

Definition of a Computer-based testing (CBT)

Computer-based testing (CBT) is the administration of a test by a computer. Tests that use this method of delivery include computer-adaptive tests (CAT) and fixed forms such as linear on-screen tests delivered using Questionmark Perception software. CBT can be useful for testing both skills and knowledge, but computers are well suited to the assessment of knowledge since complex response types such as essay questions cannot be reliably scored by machines.

What is a computer-based testing center?

A computer-based testing center is a facility that is equipped with the necessary hardware and software to administer computer-based exams. These exams are usually taken on a computer, although some testing centers may also have paper-based exams available.

What are the benefits of taking my exam at a computer-based testing center?

There are several benefits to taking your exam at a computer-based testing center. First, you’ll have access to a computer and the internet, so you can take your exam anywhere. Second, you can take your exam at your own pace, so you don’t have to

The Breakdown of setting up a CBT Center

1 – Infrastructure (Building, Chairs, Tables, and a few other things)

2 – Technical (computers, servers, network design, electrical design, CBT software (this is necessary if you have a school and you want to be conducting CBT exams for your students), inverter, generator, and a few other things

3 – Management (Manpower that will manage the center during and after every exam)

4 – Cash ( at this point I will like to stress that setting up a CBT center requires a lot of cash, on average 15-28 million Naira depending on the sitting capacity, you can talk to us on 08039254192 for a quote)

Now let’s start

I will start with the number 4 as this is the most important and in fact, without money, the dream of owning a CBT is as good as just a DREAM, the total cost of setting up varies depending on the capacity that you want, to set-up a 100 seater CBT center will cost more than setting up a 50 seater center, you can talk to us for a decent quote on 08039254192.

Infrastructure

Here I will like to say that the size of your building will largely depend on the capacity of the CBT center that you want and I will advise that before you begin the furniture work, inspect the building if you’re using an existing one to be double sure of the quality of the building. When designing your table and chairs I will suggest you visit one or two accredited CBT centers to see how their chair and tables are designed.

Technical

This is where a lot of people make the wrong decision, I strongly you contact a professional when you to this stage, not just a professional but a professional who has done it before and it’s working without any problem and a professional that will give you at least 6month free maintenance guarantee. as I said earlier setting up a CBT center requires a lot of cash, if at this stage you try to manage your resources by buying lower quality equipment (Believe me sooner you will re-buy those materials)

Management

This is very important as all of the above-mentioned steps because, with poor management, the center is as good as it’s never existed, look for a good computer administrator and 2 support staff.
