It consisted of 5 components; registration and user management, candidate and competence data, synchronize data, assessment, and assessment report. The system was designed for friendly used with tablets (iPad) which suitable for video and picture taking and portability. It represented a trend towards portability and miniaturization as technology gets better. The results indicated that the efficiency of overall system was validated at the “highest” levels ( Mean = 4.53). It was found that most of the assessors’ scores were in the same direction at the statistically significant level of .05. The users’ satisfactions were also rated at the “highest” levels ( Mean = 4.66). Most of the assessor’s scores were in the same direction at the statistically significant level of .05 as well.
