Skills-based assessment needs skills-based questions.
Written vocational assessments have to test whether learners can apply a skill in a realistic context, not just recall the unit guide. Building those scenario questions by hand, at scale, across qualifications, is the most time-consuming part of the assessment role.
- Standards update regularly, and rewriting assessment materials each time is days of work.
- Written questions test whether learners recall the standard, not whether they can apply it at work.
- Scenario questions need scarce assessor expertise and hours per unit.
- Apprenticeship cohorts include many second-language learners; content has to be accessible.
- No shared bank; assessors on the same programme write the same questions from scratch each cycle.
- Upload the updated standard or unit guide and generate a new assessment in under 60 seconds.
- Creative Mode writes scenario questions that place learners in realistic work contexts.
- Scenario questions come from your own materials, with no SME drafting time, only review.
- Generate natively in Arabic, Urdu, French or Spanish for multilingual cohorts, no translation.
- Approved questions accumulate in one shared programme bank that outlasts any assessor.
- Days to a minute
- Applied, not recall
- Five languages
Questions that test competency in context, not memory of content.
The usual failure in vocational written assessment is testing whether a learner can recall a standard, not whether they can apply it on the job. Creative Mode changes that. From one unit standard, it can write a flat recall question, or a realistic scenario.
Same source: Manual Handling Unit Standard, Section 3
“According to the manual handling procedure, what is the maximum weight a single operative should lift without mechanical assistance?”
Tests whether the learner read Section 3. Not whether they'd apply it on a real job site.
“At a client warehouse, your operative is asked to move a pallet that hasn't been weighed. The forklift is unavailable and the client says it's urgent. What should they do, and why?”
Tests whether the learner can apply the standard in a realistic, pressured workplace situation.

Every assessment your programme deploys, one platform.
From apprenticeships to trades to professional development, XAM covers the breadth of vocational assessment.
Apprenticeships
Scenario assessments aligned to the apprenticeship standard, at each gateway point. Supports levels from Entry through Level 5.
NVQ & diploma programmes
Upload unit specifications and generate knowledge checks for engineering, construction, plumbing, electrical, automotive and more.
Trade & technical
Practical, competency-focused assessments across the trades, generated from your own qualification materials.
Health & social care
Scenario questions that test whether learners can apply care standards, safeguarding and clinical protocols in realistic situations.
Professional certification
Knowledge-check assessments for sector-specific certifications and continuing professional development.
Multilingual cohorts
Generate natively in Arabic, Urdu, French or Spanish for cohorts where English isn't the first language. No translation.
A day's assessment writing, turned into an hour's review.
When a standard changes, the assessment usually waits because rewriting it takes longest. XAM moves it first: upload the new unit standard and the scenario questions are drafted before the kettle's boiled, ready for you to check.
The tools your assessment team actually needs.
From upload to export, the capabilities vocational assessment calls for.

What it costs, in real terms.
A team of five assessors is $85 a month, less than one day of assessment-writing time, for a tool that turns a day’s work into an hour’s review.
Team size
≈ 50,000 questions a month, pooled across the whole team.
Any assessor can start on the Free plan first, 150 credits a month, no card, enough to generate and review a full unit assessment from a real qualification standard. When the team is ready, we migrate their work across.
Assessment that keeps up with the qualification.
Standards move, cohorts change, languages differ. One shared account keeps every assessor's approved questions in one programme bank, so the work compounds instead of restarting each cycle.
What assessment teams say once it's in place.
I used to lose a Sunday afternoon to the end-of-term paper. I uploaded my notes on Monday morning and had it ready before first period.
[Teacher name][Subject] teacher, [School] Across the department, the papers finally look like they came from the same place. Same standard, same answer key, every time.
[Department head name]Head of Science, [Institution] The Arabic came out clean from a scanned PDF that every other tool mangled. That alone saved me an evening of retyping.
[Teacher name]Arabic teacher, [School] I set the difficulty, skimmed the questions, changed two, and sent it. It felt like having a teaching assistant who never gets tired.
[Teacher name]Maths teacher, [School] Being able to share a link and have the marking done for me changed how I run weekly quizzes. I get the class time back.
[Tutor name]Private tutor, [City] Onboarding the whole team took an afternoon, not a term. Everyone works from the same question bank now.
[Coordinator name]Assessment lead, [Institution]
Answers for the people who evaluate these things.
Yes, that's what Creative Mode is for. Turn it on and XAM synthesises realistic workplace scenarios from your unit standard, and writes questions that place learners in situations they'll actually face, testing whether they can apply the standard under real conditions. Try both modes on the same unit on the Free plan to see the difference.
Upload the new unit standard and generate a fresh assessment in under 60 seconds. The bank keeps the previous version of each assessment, so you can compare, carry over what hasn't changed, and update selectively. Across multiple qualifications and awarding bodies, that alone recovers real assessor time.
XAM generates natively in Arabic, Urdu, French, Spanish and English, processing your source in the language you upload and generating in that same language. For Arabic and Urdu it also repairs the encoding errors that affect most publisher and awarding-body PDFs. No translation required.
XAM exports in .GIFT, Moodle's native question format, straight from the Question Bank, so you can import into Moodle today with no setup. A native push integration (removing the manual import) is in development; join the waitlist. X-Ed LMS is already fully integrated with question push and grade sync.
Yes. XAM imports CSV (using the template on the Question Bank screen), .GIFT and .Aiken (plain-text multiple choice). Most assessment systems and VLEs export at least one of these. Tell us what you're on and we'll advise the best migration path.
Yes. XAM is GDPR-compliant. Learner responses are stored securely and visible only to the assessors and admins in your account. Your qualification materials and learner data are never shared with third parties and never used to train AI models. A Data Processing Agreement is available on request at privacy@xam.pro.
