Simultaneous testing across five continents

On 29 September 2026, 10,163 registered candidates are expected to take the test simultaneously across 32 locations, 30 cities, 25 countries and five continents.

Ensuring uniform conditions, IT security and operational fluidity across such a diverse international context requires careful planning, coordination and expertise.

A collective effort

To ensure the exam ran smoothly, over 400 people were involved, including technical staff, venue coordinators, and support teams.

In the lead-up to the exam, our support centre resolved over 800 support tickets, maintaining constant communication with candidates, and resolving any issues promptly.

Technology, logistics and people

The 2026 edition of IMAT brings together advanced technology, logistical planning and human expertise to support an examination involving 10,163 registered candidates worldwide.

An integrated approach focused on security, reliability and the candidates’ experience is applied at every stage, from preparing materials to real-time monitoring.

A benchmark for global events

Our experience with IMAT confirms Recrytera’s ability to manage complex, simultaneous international events, ensuring high standards of quality and coordination.

This project reflects our vision of making complex things simple through technology, expertise, and teamwork.
