COTECA online exam system is useless

COTECA online exam system is unreliable, misleading, and completely unacceptable

I am extremely disappointed with the way COTECA, the online testing provider for the CSCS/CITB exam, handled my situation. I paid over £300 for an online test that simply does not work, and the level of support I received was shocking.

A month ago, I contacted COTECA and clearly said that I no longer wanted to proceed with the online exam and that I wanted a refund. Nobody informed me that a refund was not possible, nobody helped me, and nobody even explained my options. They ignored my request until the test date arrived.

When I attempted the exam today, the COTECA system completely failed. After only 2–3 questions, the interface broke on my mobile device — buttons disappeared, the layout overlapped, and it became impossible to progress. This was clearly a technical fault on their side.

I contacted support, and instead of offering real help, they told me I must use a computer with a webcam. This requirement was never clearly stated during booking, and the test setup was described in a way that made it sound like a phone was acceptable.

So I paid £300 for:

• A system that doesn’t function properly
• Misleading instructions
• No help when the exam breaks
• No responsibility taken by COTECA
• Complete lack of transparency

This is unacceptable from a company that charges such a high price for an essential certification exam.

I am requesting a full refund or a free rebook immediately, because the failure was on COTECA’s side, not mine.
Nobody should have to pay hundreds of pounds for a service that simply doesn’t work.

Reply from Coteca Limited

Dear Jakub Janecek,
Thank you for your feedback. We truly understand the frustration you have experienced with your online course final assessment attempt.

At COTECA, we always strive to provide our customers with the best possible experience, and we regret that your assessment did not go as smoothly as expected. However, upon reviewing your situation, we would like to clarify that all necessary technical setup instructions and guidelines were provided to you upfront. These instructions were shared well in advance to ensure clarity and to help you successfully complete the assessment by following all mandatory steps.

Here’s a summary of your journey with us:

Booking Date: You booked your package with us on 13-08-2025. This package includes the Online Course Training Material, Online Course Final Assessment, CITB Test (2 chances), Test Practice Material, and Certification card - all designed to help you achieve the certification you need. We understand that you paid a significant amount for this package, and we want to assure you that our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive, supportive experience throughout the process.

Refund Request: When you reached out requesting a refund, we did not deny your request. We simply explained that there would be a basic admin cost deducted. Unfortunately, the call was unexpectedly disconnected, but you later agreed to proceed with the order completion.

Free Re-attempt: To ensure your success, we confirmed that you would be given a FREE Re-attempt for the Online Course - Final Assessment (As you failed due to not following the mandatory instructions).

Our goal has always been to put our customers first and ensure a smooth experience. As per our terms (also outlined in the invoice), the course is to be completed within 90 days of booking. While you attempted the assessment after this period, we still chose to support you. This shows that we are genuinely concerned about your success and are committed to assisting our esteemed customers, even when deadlines are exceeded.

What went wrong on your end?

As you noted, your online course final assessment was booked for your preferred date and time. However, it is important to emphasize that online proctored assessments have specific guidelines that must be followed, including the use of a laptop or desktop with a webcam. This requirement was clearly communicated in the setup instructions sent to you via email, along with the final assessment link.

Mobile devices are not supported due to technical limitations, such as interruptions from calls, messages, and notifications, which can interfere with the proctoring system and disrupt the exam. This is why, during your attempt today, you faced challenges. The test system works properly when using a laptop or desktop that meets the necessary requirements.

We completely understand that this may have caused some inconvenience, and we apologize for any confusion. Our guidelines are in place to ensure a secure, smooth, and fair testing experience for all candidates. Following these instructions is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the assessment process.

Next Steps:

To ensure that your next attempt goes smoothly, we are offering you a FREE Re-attempt of the Course Final Assessment. Please carefully review the mandatory setup information once again, and make sure you are using a laptop or desktop with a webcam for your next attempt.

We are confident that by following these guidelines, your experience will be much smoother, and we will be here to support you every step of the way.

Thank you for your understanding. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance.

Sincerely,
Support Team
Coteca Limited

It was my first time undertaking the cscs card and Dexter really supported me. Dexter always replied to my queries about the process and it was never too much trouble for him to choose the right courses for me and answer any questions I had. I did it without employer sponsorship which he understood and I always felt I was in good hands. I would recommend Coteca for these reasons and will definitely use their service again.
