Run your whole certification program. Prove it holds up.
Peak unifies exam development, delivery, and candidate experience in one platform with psychometric rigor built into every workflow, not bolted on after. Built for programs that carry real weight, priced for teams that run lean.
Fast. Affordable. Defensible. Pick three.
Running a certification program used to force a bad choice. Hire a full-service testing vendor and pay enterprise prices for a program you no longer control with a poor candidate experience, months-long change cycles, your candidates living on someone else's portal. Or stitch it together yourself spreadsheets, a quiz engine, a home-grown portal and quietly hope nobody ever challenges an exam result.
A new generation of SaaS tools promised a third way: fast and cheap. But fast and cheap without measurement rigor just moves the risk. A certification is a claim about a person's competence; if the exam behind it can't be defended, the credential is worth nothing and programs discover that at the worst possible moment.
Peak is built on a different conviction: small programs deserve the same rigor as the giants, without the giants' price tag or timelines.
Develop, deliver, and manage candidates in one system.
One login, one data model, one all-in price. Psychometric integrity is preserved continuously from the moment an item is authored through to a candidate's credential.
Develop
AI-powered authoring, grounded in your own source material.
Domain analysis, blueprint-driven development, item banking, and form assembly with AI item generation that starts from your own documentation so SMEs review instead of write. Standard setting, technical review, and item-quality rules you define run inside the workflow, and every generated item has to pass them before it reaches the bank.
Deliver
Modern, secure delivery — fixed form and LOFT.
Fixed-form and Linear-on-the-Fly delivery with integrated proctoring. Practice, low-stakes and medium-stakes exams, with proctoring bundled into a single all-in price by stakes tier one bill from us, not a separate invoice from a proctoring vendor.
Candidates
A candidate experience your program actually owns.
One candidate, one profile, one credential wallet, across every program under your own brand and subdomain. Passwordless sign-in, program catalog and enrollment, scheduling, accommodation requests, card payment for exam fees, credential issuance with badging, and public credential verification. All native, no bolt-ons.
The authoring surface, up close.
Authoring that starts from your source material.
Blueprint-driven item development with AI generation grounded in your own documentation. Let SMEs review defensible drafts instead of writing from a blank page. Rich content, stem/options/rationale as first-class fields, and live preview.
- RAG-based item generation from your uploaded references
- Multi-media items: images, diagrams, code blocks, math
- Blueprint autocomplete + weight enforcement
- Soft-deletes and full version history per item
From locked form to scored candidate.
Publish an exam driver from any bank, assemble forms by hand or automatically, and control timing, scoring, retakes, availability and proctoring for each one. Watch sessions as they run and drill into individual results.
- Fixed-form and Linear-on-the-Fly (LOFT) delivery
- Manual and automated form assembly, with section ordering and control
- AI Enabled Live Proctoring
- Live session monitoring with per-session results
- Configurable PDF score reports
Your program's front door, under your brand.
Candidates get one passwordless account that works across every program you run. You get a directory, an audit trail, and full control of the portal's branding and content.
- Branded portal on your own subdomain, with your logo and your copy
- Program catalog, enrollment and per-program eligibility
- Accommodations catalog and a review queue for candidate requests
- Candidate-paid exam fees by card, with refunds and payment reporting
- Certifications, credential issuance, and badge artwork
- Bulk candidate import with import history, and a full org-wide audit trail
Built by a team that has defended exams in the real world.
Rigor built in, not bolted on.
Domain analysis, blueprint-driven development, standard setting, technical review, and item-quality rules are everyday workflow. Run a full job task analysis in the platform: task inventory, work model expansion, blueprint weighting, minimally-qualified-candidate surveys, and a generated JTA report. IRT calibration, equating, and validation studies are available through Alpine's psychometric bench whenever your program needs them.
AI that starts from your truth.
RAG-based item generation grounded in the source material you upload references, documentation, standards producing defensible, domain-specific items and shifting SMEs from authoring to reviewing. Generation runs as a multi-stage pipeline, every item has to clear your quality rules, and nothing enters the bank until a human accepts it.
Self-service, with a bench behind it.
Run everything yourself, or pull in Alpine's psychometricians for JTA facilitation, standard setting, validation, or NCCA accreditation guidance. No pure-SaaS competitor has the bench; no full-service vendor offers the self-service.
Full audit trail.
Every change is attributable, reversible, and exportable for your accreditor. Version history per item: the evidence trail defensibility depends on.
Your content stays yours.
Migration is a decision criterion, not an implementation detail. Bring blueprints in from CSV or Excel, import your item bank in bulk when you create it, and export items as QTI 2.1 packages or CSV at any point. Blueprints, JTA reports, analyses and score reports export as PDF. Nothing you build here is trapped here.
Bring every expert you need.
Admins and SMEs work inside the platform on named seats. Participants job task analysis, test definition and minimally qualified candidate respondents answer through a link without ever logging in, and never consume a seat. Broad practitioner input is what validity depends on. Price should never be the reason someone is not invited.
Rigor you can start using today.
