Measurement, not training — run it after any provider's programme." canonical: https://www.assessall.com/solutions/compliance-certification-india source: AssessAll --- # The training happened. Can you show it landed? AssessAll is an online assessment platform Indian organisations use to measure and certify what employees actually retained from compliance training. Two proctored, scenario-based certification assessments are live today: POSH Certification — Workplace Harassment Prevention (20 questions, 25 minutes) and DPDP Act Certification — Digital Personal Data Protection (18 questions, 22 minutes). Each costs 5 credits — ₹150 per employee — with a 70% pass mark, annual re-certification framing, and a verifiable Open Badges 3.0 digital badge issued on passing that anyone can check via a public link. AssessAll is the measurement layer, not the training: it works after any provider's POSH or data-protection programme, and it certifies demonstrated understanding and judgement — it does not provide legal advice or statutory compliance sign-off. ## What Is POSH & DPDP Certification for Employees in India? AssessAll offers two proctored, scenario-based certifications — POSH (Workplace Harassment Prevention) and DPDP Act (Digital Personal Data Protection) — measuring what employees actually retained from training, not just attendance. Each costs ₹150 per employee (70% pass mark) and issues a publicly verifiable Open Badges 3.0 digital badge. It measures after any provider's training; it is not legal advice. ## What goes wrong today - **Attendance is not understanding** — Most compliance programmes end with a completion record: the employee sat through the session or clicked through the module. A sign-in sheet proves attendance; it says nothing about whether anyone can apply the Internal Committee process, recognise a reportable situation, or handle personal data correctly on a Tuesday afternoon. A scenario-based assessment measures the thing the training was for. - **The end-of-module quiz is a formality** — Five recall questions, unlimited attempts, answers shared on the group chat — the typical LMS quiz is designed to be passed, not to measure. AssessAll's certifications run proctored: fullscreen required, tab switches limited, copy-paste blocked, and a 70% pass mark against original scenarios that cannot be looked up mid-attempt. - **Certificates nobody can verify** — A PDF certificate with a name typed on it is evidence of nothing. Every AssessAll pass issues an Open Badges 3.0 digital badge with a public verification link — an auditor, a client running vendor due diligence, or a future employer can confirm who was certified, for what, and when, without calling your HR team. - **Annual refreshers on an annual-licence budget** — Certifying 200 employees should not require a platform subscription. At ₹150 per employee per certification, a 200-person POSH re-certification wave costs ₹30,000, runs on employees' own devices, and scores itself — and the 250 free credits new organisations receive will certify a 50-person pilot before you pay anything. ## What AssessAll does - **POSH Certification — Workplace Harassment Prevention** — Twelve original, fictional workplace scenarios test judgement; eight knowledge questions test the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 itself — Internal Committee, timelines, employer duties, and employee rights. 20 questions, 25 minutes, 70% to pass, designed for annual administration. - **DPDP Act Certification — Digital Personal Data Protection** — Ten workplace scenarios test applied judgement on consent, breach response, children's data and data-principal rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023; eight knowledge questions test the Act's core provisions. 18 questions, 22 minutes, 70% to pass. - **Scenario-first item design** — The majority of every certification is applied judgement, not recall: original, fictional workplace situations where the employee must choose what to do, not recite what the law says. That is what distinguishes measured capability from a completion certificate. - **Proctored administration** — Fullscreen is required, tab switching is limited and logged, and copy-paste and right-click are blocked — so a pass reflects what the employee knows in the room, not what the group chat knows. Retakes are allowed after a failed attempt, and each retake is a fresh proctored sitting. - **Verifiable digital badges** — Passing issues a digital badge on the Open Badges 3.0 standard — 'POSH certified' or 'DPDP certified' — carrying the achievement, criteria and issue date, verifiable by anyone through a public link. Badges also land in the employee's Skill Passport alongside their other measured competencies. - **Rollout without IT** — Assign from the organisation dashboard and employees complete the assessment on their own phone or laptop. Scoring is instant, the dashboard shows pass/fail and question-level detail as submissions arrive, and stragglers are visible by name — so a certification wave closes in days, not quarters. - **Before-and-after measurement around training** — Because the assessment is separate from the training, it can run before a programme as a baseline and after it as proof of movement — the same pre/post pattern AssessAll's training-needs-analysis customers use. If your provider's workshop worked, the delta will show it. ## Use cases - Annual POSH re-certification waves across an organisation - DPDP Act readiness certification for teams handling personal data - Post-training measurement after any provider's compliance workshop - Onboarding: certifying new joiners within the first month - Vendor and client due-diligence evidence — verifiable badges per employee - Baselining before a compliance programme to target the training - BPO, GCC and IT services workforces certifying at volume --- Source: https://www.assessall.com/solutions/compliance-certification-india
