Vocational & trade

Prove trade skills, from classroom to job site

Vocational and trade programmes have to bridge the gap between the classroom and the job site. Blend theory exams with practical, competency-based checks, and certify with proof.

A trade qualification has to prove two different things: that someone knows the theory, and that they can actually do the work. Test only the first and the certificate does not mean much on the job site.

CandidatesPrep lets you assess both on one platform, a proctored theory exam alongside structured practical checks, so a competency is recorded on the knowledge and the hands-on side, and certified with a defensible result.

Bridge theory and practice

Theory and practical

A proctored knowledge exam plus structured checklists for the hands-on side of a skill.

Competency-based

Tag by competency, so you can see which skills a candidate has proven and which need work.

Training on the same platform

Courses and learning paths that build toward the qualification, not a separate tool.

Certify with proof

A branded, verifiable certificate backed by a proctored result an employer can trust.

A question bank mixing theory items with practical checklists.

Blend theory exams with practical checks

A trade is not proven by theory alone. Assess the knowledge with a proctored exam, and capture the practical, hands-on side with structured checklists, so both halves of a competency are on record.

Courses and learning paths for vocational training.

Bridge the gap from classroom to job site

Deliver the training and the assessment on one platform: video lessons, learning paths, and knowledge checks that build toward a real, competency-based qualification.

Competency-based testing

Test whether a candidate can actually do the thing, not just recall it, and see exactly which competencies still need work.

Branded, verifiable trade certificates.

Certify with proof

Issue a branded, verifiable certificate the moment a candidate passes, backed by a proctored, defensible result an employer can trust.

Common questions

Can we assess practical skills, not just theory?

Yes. Run proctored theory exams and capture the practical side with structured checklists, so a competency is recorded on both the knowledge and the hands-on side.

Does it suit competency-based training?

Yes. Tag questions and checks by competency, so you can see exactly which skills a candidate has proven and which still need work.

Can candidates practise before assessment?

Yes. The practice simulator mirrors the real exam, so candidates rehearse under authentic conditions before a sitting that counts.
