Optimum Assesment Platform: The ultimate assessment experience.
Optimum Assessment (formerly: Citrus Andriessen) has been re-awarded the European tender exam software for the Wft exams. It was a tough course led by Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs (DUO) and supervised by the College Deskundigheid Financiële Dienstverlening (CDFD).

The Financial Supervision Act (Wft) regulates the supervision of almost the entire financial sector in the Netherlands. The Wft brings together a large number of rules and regulations governing financial markets and their supervision. Anyone who provides financial advice to clients is required to obtain a diploma and pass a Continuing Education exam once every three years.
In recent years, Optimum Assessment has already had the opportunity to provide the exam software for the Wft examination system. During this period, in close cooperation, within the system, many (procedural) improvements were made, including in the area of fraud prevention. From its years of experience and expertise in the field of digital testing, Optimum Assessment not only developed the software, but also played a guiding and advisory role. All, of course, in close and very pleasant cooperation with DUO and the CDFD.
A new procurement always involves uncertainty and risk. After all, every registrant is equal. In preparation for this tender, therefore, Optimum Assessment pulled out all the stops to come up with an optimal tender. It was also chosen to include several modules from the completely new and innovative testing software, Optimum Assessment Platform, in the enrollment. This made the field test with all chain partners, which was part of the tender process, especially exciting.
After a tough migration process, we finally went live with the new sampling software in early October! This go live brought several challenges. Because of the very constructive cooperation with DUO and the various Examination bodies, we quickly identified the issues. Consequently, candidates were hardly bothered by this.
For us, a wonderful result after months of hard work. “We are proud, that we may once again use our expertise for examinations in the Wft system. That we can do this with our new exam software Optimum Assessment Platform makes it even more special for us!”, said Martin van den Berge, Managing Director of Optimum Assessment.
