ABOUT VALID-8
VALID-8 is a software solution that allows the capture of evidence to be recorded against a set of criteria in a unique and highly defensible way. Using video technology, evidence of candidates demonstrating required skills and competence, in a workplace or similar setting, can be captured and submitted for assessment in VALID-8. Trained assessors remotely access this evidence and reliably assess it against pre-determined criteria and standards. Video evidence enables assessment of crucial attributes; such as applied skills, safety, and risk; not typically assessed through traditional methods.
VALID-8 has been used in the military, medical/health care, skilled trades, education and other industries. More information is available here
