Why ICDE?
Beyond Multiple Choice
Traditional assessments test recognition. Our five interaction models test genuine competency through real-world task simulation.
The Standard
We Calculate Efficiency
Don't just guess — tell us how you would solve the problem. Our scoring engine measures workflow efficiency, not just correctness. The same answer scored differently based on whether it reflects a professional approach or a workaround.
Weighted Scoring
L1, L2, and L3 questions carry different weights, producing a precise proficiency map.
Security Detection
Automatically flags data safety risks and recommends security awareness training.
Course Routing
Instant, evidence-backed recommendations for Essentials, Intermediate, or Advanced pathways.
Quota Enforcement
Atomic database-level controls prevent over-allocation of assessments per organisation.
Interaction Models
Five Ways to Prove Competency
Each assessment blends these interaction types to create a holistic view of digital capability — not just recall.
Sequencing (Drag & Drop)
Order complex workflows like Pivot Tables or Mail Merges. Measures procedural fluency, not just recognition.
Interface Simulation (Hotspot)
Identify icons in the Microsoft Ribbon or CRM headers. Tests spatial memory and software navigation skills.
Syntax Input (Gap Fill)
Precision testing for Excel formulas and SQL query fragments. Validates exact technical knowledge.
Debugging (Text Correction)
Identify #REF! errors and maintain data integrity. Assesses diagnostic reasoning in real spreadsheet contexts.
Adaptive Literacy
Evaluative judgment for phishing detection and data safety. Critical for organisational security posture.
