Assessment, evolved…
Go beyond a tick in a box: Show it. Prove it. Defend it.
Show. Prove. Defend. Validate!
Our VALID-8 tool was the world’s first e-portfolio software, allowing trades apprentices to showcase their real-world skills and prove their expertise. Since then, it’s become the world-leading solution for skills assessment in dozens of different sectors.
In short, VALID-8 allows learners prove what they can do; it allows supervisors and assessors to monitor and guide learners and peers; it allows organizations to maintain skills legacies; and it allows regulators and awarding bodies to ensure everyone is succeeding to standards. And it does it all in a way that is legally defensible.

The Risk
of traditional assessment
Traditional assessment systems offer little or no transparency, so critical decisions are made based on what’s implied by test scores or a tick in a box, whether it reflects an individual’s real capabilities or not. This can leave organizations open to legal repercussions. VALID-8 cuts through the uncertainty and allows you to clearly measure all the multi-dimensional attributes of a person’s competence, with nothing implied, assumed, or left to chance.
The World-Leading Solution
First used by BMW over 25 years ago, our software has been developed and refined through decades of real-world use in partnerships with some of the biggest brands and organizations across the world.
The Future is Now With VALID-8…
At Vametric, we understand that accurate skills assessment is essential for both individuals and organizations striving for excellence. We also believe that showing what you can do should carry more weight that an arbitrary test score that can’t accurately capture your true capabilities. Tests measure rote learning; VALID-8 proves competency.
Our cutting-edge platform is designed to provide proof of your strengths and give you insightful information on areas for improvement. Unlock your potential with VALID-8 by Vametric and experience a comprehensive approach to skills assessment that not only documents your proficiency, but also guides you on a path to mastery.
