Page

To create a Page item in Cirrus, go to your Library, create or select a collection, and click + Add or use the drop-down arrow to select Page. The screen below will appear.

The welcome page is the cover page of your assessment. It typically contains a welcome message and instructions for candidates before they begin.

The finish page is shown after the candidate submits the exam. It typically contains a closing message. For example: "Thank you for your participation. Results will be shared within 5-10 business days."

You can create a unique welcome and finish page for each assessment, or reuse a generic page across multiple assessments.

• Welcome screen: displayed at the start of the assessment.

Non-disclosure agreement (NDA)

When delivering assessments, you can require candidates to accept a Non-Disclosure Agreement before starting. This page is configured as a template in the Admin section, not in the Library. See Adding a Non-Disclosure Agreement to your assessments.

Survey pages: the registration form

Registration forms can be configured to collect additional information from candidates before or after the assessment. Use cases include:

• Collecting candidate registration details (for example, for awarding bodies).
• Gathering feedback on the assessment or specific questions.
• Collecting feedback on your educational programme and its instructors.
