Build & update exams in days—not weeks
Exam creation shouldn't be a multi-week ordeal. Gauge's intuitive UI, copy-paste builder, and bulk upload tools make it easy to build or revise assessments quickly — even if you're the only person managing your program.
- Create exams rapidly
- Reuse templates with simple copy/paste
- Bulk upload new item banks
- Localize exams in multiple languages
- Move from concept to launch in record time
“Something that seemed like a massive undertaking ended up being something I was able to get done within a couple days. The copy-and-paste feature saved me a lot of time.”

Gain full control over your testing program
Legacy platforms force you into rigid workflows and make you dependent on their support teams for simple actions — like resetting exams. Gauge puts the power back in your hands with complete administrative control, customizable workflows, and full backend access.
- Reset exams instantly
- Adapt workflows to your policies
- Manage everything without vendor bottlenecks
- Deliver retests the same day
- Keep your program compliant and audit-ready
“Gauge allowed us to have the control over our own testing platform… immediate retests, total flexibility.”
Larisa Respondek
Director of Credentialing, Texas Veterinary Medical Association
A partner, not a ticketing system
Most platforms leave certification teams waiting days for help. Gauge is different. With direct access to real experts — not ticket queues — you get white-glove support from people who understand certification pressures, compliance requirements, and the stakes involved.
- Immediate responses from experienced experts
- Hands-on onboarding, setup, and consultation
- Support that acts like an extension of your team
- True partnership, not a vendor relationship
“If Gauge disappeared tomorrow, I would miss the customer service and the adaptability to our needs. I don't think we could find that… it'd take us a long time to find that again.”
Aaron Johnson
Executive Director, International Firestop Council (IFSC)

THE COST OF WAITING
Every month on your current system has a real price tag.
Most credentialing bodies wait 6 to 12 months before switching platforms. Here's what that delay actually costs.
Hours lost to manual workarounds every week
If your team is resetting exams by hand, chasing certs from another vendor, and copy-pasting renewal data into spreadsheets -- that's hours you're not getting back.
Avg. 8 hrs/week recovered after switching to Gauge
Vendor lock-in that quietly gets worse
The longer your data lives in a fragmented system, the harder and more expensive migration becomes. Switching costs go up every quarter you wait.
Gauge imports your existing data in a single CSV
Compliance risk from disconnected systems
When your proctoring, testing, and cert records live in three different platforms, audit-readiness means manually assembling reports. One gap can put your accreditation at risk.

The questions that actually matter
Get the answers you need before you commit to a platform switch.
What happens to all our existing exam content when we switch?
Your content migrates completely. A single .csv file imports user records, login information, exam history, and existing question banks. Our onboarding team handles the migration with you -- it typically takes 1 to 2 days, not weeks. We've never lost a client's data in 25 years.
We're a small team. Do we need IT to run this?
No. Gauge is built for credentialing administrators, not developers. If you can manage a spreadsheet, you can manage Gauge. Most of our customers are one- or two-person certification teams. Our white-glove support means a real person -- not a ticket queue -- helps you set things up and answers questions within hours.
How is Gauge different from just using our LMS?
Your LMS is built for learning delivery, not credentialing. Gauge is purpose-built as a certification exam platform -- it handles the things your LMS doesn't: proctoring, compliance-grade reporting, automatic certificate issuance, digital badging, renewal tracking, and audit trails. Think of it as your LMS handling coursework while Gauge handles everything that comes after -- the exam, the credential, and the compliance record.
What if our certification volume grows or changes?
Gauge pricing scales with your volume -- you only pay for what you use. Moving up a tier is a simple plan change, not a re-negotiation or a new contract. You can also add or remove feature modules at renewal. There are no volume penalties for growing.
Are we locked into a long-term contract?
Annual plans only -- no multi-year lock-in. And every plan includes a 30-day free trial before you pay anything. We'd rather you experience the platform and choose to stay because it works, not because you signed a 3-year agreement.
Is Gauge secure enough for high-stakes certification?
Yes. Gauge is built specifically for high-stakes credentialing with exam integrity features including randomized question delivery, time-limited sessions, proctoring integrations (Honorlock, ProctorFree, Proctorio, MonitorEDU), IP restriction, and full audit logs. Every session creates a tamper-evident record. We hold US Patent 6,513,042 for our assessment security architecture.
