AVCO's ExamService provides a fast, reliable, secure and inexpensive means of moving examination-related data files between Boards and Centres. Supported by AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and CCEA, ExamService will operate with any Exam Centre software accepting or producing data files conforming to JCQ standards. Any Centre can choose to transmit using either dial-up modem or via the Internet (using any ISP) and can readily change from one to the other as circumstances dictate.

Installation at, and operation by, each Centre is both intuitive and extremely simple; 10 minutes to install the Centre client software and a single click on a "Send/Receive" button to initiate data transfer. ExamService automatically directs Centre-produced data to each of the relevant England and Wales Boards. ExamService provides automatic retrieval of successful file transfer confirmations, logs all transfers, and archives files for re-transmission in the event of transmission failure. That's it! Key features are:

• Communications. Can be used via modem or Internet.
