Surpass staff make the effort to make their customers feel valued and listened to. > > **Cons**: Custom development within the core platform can be slow and expensive, however they do their best to understand customer requirements prior to development. > > We've worked with Surpass and their software for over 15 years, so they must be a good outfit to retain customers for this length of time. We've used the software to deliver over 100,000 high stakes examinations alongside formative assessments, in both English and Welsh. ----- ### "Surpass, an adaptable, flexible system" — 4.0/5 > **Toni** | *24 April 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Can be adapted in many ways, multiple uses, user friendly, can be customised to the individual business. > > **Cons**: There is a long lead in time for changes, with much expense. New features are often not relevant as different types of users of the platform are investing. > > Surpass has always been a good system to use, and we adapt and flex it to work for us as a business, where we can. ----- ### "Overall great system, that is growing and improving." — 4.0/5 > **Sam** | *30 May 2017* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The simplicity and complexity that is possible with question and exam creation. The numerous features that are being added. The numerous delivery options. > > **Cons**: Some inconsistencies in layout between screens. Some unusual limitations i.e. not being able to delete something without first doing something else. > > It is very straightforward to achieve a number of activities. I get to interact with the developers and suggest improvements/changes etc. ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/302383/btl-surpass) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
