Online Examination System in the UAE
iTest is Intrazero's AI-proctored online examination system, engineered for high-stakes assessment at scale and ready for the UAE's regulatory and bilingual environment. It delivers secure exams, remote proctoring, automated integrity scoring, and instant grading — with a native Arabic and English interface and a local Intrazero presence in Dubai.
iTest is proven where it matters most: it powers the Egyptian Medical Licensing Exam (EMLE), supports 120,000+ concurrent students, processes 2M+ exams a year, and flags integrity incidents with 99%+ AI accuracy. That national-scale track record — not a pilot — is what UAE universities, schools, and certification bodies can build on, deployed in the cloud, on-premise, or hybrid to meet local data-residency needs.
Built for the UAE's data-protection and assessment rules
Online proctoring processes sensitive personal data — facial images, voice, and behavioural signals — which fall squarely under the UAE's Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL), overseen by the UAE Data Office, with cross-border transfer and consent obligations that an exam platform must respect. iTest is built to honour those obligations: explicit candidate consent, purpose-limited capture, configurable retention, and deployment options that keep personal data inside the UAE.
On the academic side, the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) requires higher-education institutions to document assessment integrity — including proctored exams — in their e-Learning frameworks, while schools answer to the Ministry of Education, KHDA in Dubai, and ADEK in Abu Dhabi. iTest gives each institution the audit-ready evidence those bodies expect.
- PDPL-aligned: consent capture, purpose limitation, configurable data retention
- UAE data-residency options via on-premise, private cloud, or hybrid deployment
- Integrity evidence aligned to CAA e-Learning and assessment-quality expectations
- Tamper-evident session logs and audit trails for institutional review
AI proctoring and integrity scoring you can defend
Every session is monitored by multi-layered AI: face recognition, gaze and presence tracking, environment scanning, audio analysis, and browser lockdown. Suspicious events are flagged automatically with 99%+ accuracy and rolled into a per-candidate integrity score, so reviewers focus on real incidents instead of watching hours of video.
Because grading is automated across multiple-choice, matching, numerical, and essay questions, results are returned fast and consistently — with item-level analytics that help faculty defend outcomes to examination boards and external reviewers.
- Face recognition, gaze/presence tracking, environment and audio analysis
- Secure browser lockdown and automated incident detection
- Per-candidate integrity score with reviewer workflow and evidence
- Auto-grading with deep item analysis and performance dashboards
Bilingual delivery and seamless LMS integration
The UAE runs on Arabic and English, and so does iTest — a true bilingual, right-to-left-ready interface for candidates, invigilators, and administrators alike, not a bolt-on translation. That matters for federal Arabic-medium programmes as much as for international curricula.
iTest integrates directly with the platforms UAE institutions already use — Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, and Google Classroom — so rosters, schedules, and results sync without manual re-entry, and exams slot into existing teaching and student-information workflows.
- Native Arabic + English, RTL-ready across every role
- Direct sync with Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, and Google Classroom
- Question banks, scheduling, and result analytics in one platform
- Accessibility support: screen readers, high-contrast, extended time
Proven national-scale capability, ready for the UAE
iTest already carries one of the region's most demanding workloads: it delivers the Egyptian Medical Licensing Exam (EMLE) and sustains 120,000+ concurrent candidates with zero downtime. For UAE certification bodies, universities, and ministries weighing computer-based testing — the same model the DHA, MOHAP, and DoH Abu Dhabi already use for health-professional licensing — that is hard evidence the platform performs under real high-stakes pressure.
Backed by Intrazero — founded in 2016, serving 500+ institutions, GDPR- and FERPA-compliant — iTest is ready for the UAE without claiming a deployment it hasn't yet made here: the capability is real, the local fit is engineered, and the team is on the ground in Dubai to deliver it.
FAQ
What is the best online examination system in the UAE?
iTest by Intrazero is built for the UAE: AI-proctored online exams with integrity scoring, a native Arabic and English interface, PDPL-ready data handling, and direct integration with Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas, and Google Classroom. It powers the Egyptian Medical Licensing Exam and supports 120,000+ concurrent students, so it is proven at national scale.
Is iTest compliant with UAE data protection law?
iTest is built to align with the UAE's Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL), overseen by the UAE Data Office. It captures explicit candidate consent for proctoring, limits data to its stated purpose, offers configurable retention, and supports on-premise or in-country deployment so personal data — including biometric signals — can stay inside the UAE. It is also GDPR- and FERPA-compliant.
Is Intrazero already deployed in the UAE?
iTest is built for and ready for the UAE, with a local Intrazero presence in Dubai, but its confirmed national-scale deployment is in Egypt, where it powers the Egyptian Medical Licensing Exam (EMLE). UAE institutions benefit from that proven capability — the platform is engineered to meet UAE regulatory, bilingual, and data-residency requirements.
Does iTest support remote proctoring for UAE universities and certification bodies?
Yes. iTest provides AI-driven remote proctoring — face recognition, gaze and environment tracking, audio analysis, and browser lockdown — with automated flagging at 99%+ accuracy and a per-candidate integrity score. This supports the assessment-integrity evidence the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) expects from higher-education e-Learning programmes.
Does iTest work in Arabic?
Yes. iTest has a native, right-to-left-ready Arabic interface alongside English for candidates, invigilators, and administrators — suitable for both federal Arabic-medium programmes and international curricula taught across the UAE.
Can iTest be deployed on-premise in the UAE for data residency?
Yes. iTest supports cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployment, so UAE universities, schools, and certification bodies can keep candidate and proctoring data in-country to meet PDPL and institutional data-residency requirements.
