Safe Exam Support

SES (Safe Exam Support) is the secure exam-delivery platform of your institute. It runs online exams inside the Safe Exam Browser (SEB) so that students take their exams in a locked-down, tamper-proof environment.

This documentation is organized into three guides:

GuideAudienceWhat it covers

Multi-language support

SES ships with translations for English, Dutch and German. Use the language switcher in the top-right corner.

How SES works at a glance

Every institute is isolated in its own PostgreSQL schema. All data belonging to the institute — exams, sessions, SEB settings, results — lives only in that schema, and the URL path determines which institute's data is served.

Tenant isolation

There is no cross-tenant data access. Two institutes on the same server can never see each other's data.
