Find out who can format, structure and review a document in Word

What the DocCheck measures
DocCheck tests Word skills on a real document, not a quiz. Candidates work in a word processor that looks and works like Microsoft Word, with the same ribbon, styles, dialogs and keyboard shortcuts, and complete 24 hands-on tasks on a business report. Every task is checked automatically.
Everyday drafting
Formatting text, bullet lists, find and replace, highlights and page breaks.
Styles and structure
Heading styles, tables, headers and page numbers, margins and precise find and replace.
Long documents and review (Advanced)
Tables of contents, track changes and comments, footnotes, sections and columns.
Why organisations choose Viewpoint work skills tests
Real tasks, not self-report
Candidates show what they can actually do, rather than telling you what they think they can do.
Scored automatically
Every answer is scored the same way, with no marking for you to do.
Built for the role
Tasks reflect the work people really do in the job, so results speak directly to performance.
Clear reports
Clear results for recruiters, and supportive feedback for candidates.
Reports
The report shows the candidate's score and score band (Very Low to Very High) by skill area. It comes in two versions: an Assessor Report with interview questions, and a Candidate Report with no scores and practical development advice.

Administrators and secretaries
