Case Study: ELIA (Belgium’s national high‑voltage transmission operator) achieves 25% increase in daily testing and faster certifications with eSkill

Customized Skills Assessments Help ELIA Improve Certification Rates By 25%

ELIA Transmission Belgium, the national high-voltage electricity transmission operator (also operating in parts of Germany), must ensure all technicians and contractors working in hazardous high-voltage sites pass in-person safety tests. ELIA was running 100+ paper-based assessments per day using MS Silverlight, Excel and barcode scanners — a slow, error-prone process with printing problems — and sought a more efficient way to administer tests and improve certification rates.

ELIA chose the eSkill Talent Assessment Platform™ Enterprise subscription for its customization and support, importing over 1,300 proprietary questions and creating multilingual tests. The platform was quick to set up, provided immediate results and expert support, and streamlined administration; as a result ELIA increased the number of candidates tested daily by 25%, got personnel into the field faster, and freed certification officers to focus on higher-value tasks.
