UK proxy test takers get 18 months of jail time, after which they could be deported

Two foreign nationals were taking health and safety tests for others using falsified identification passes. The testing program says that "any other fraudsters could expect to feel the full force of the law."

It sounds like the discovery of the proxy test taking was fortuitous, which highlights the need for systematic approaches to discover and apprehend proxy test takers.

CITB-ConstructionSkills’ product delivery manager Chris Little, said that staff discovered the fraud, known as proxy testing, after realizing the men had taken multiple tests using several other workers’ identification passes which bore their own photographs.
 
He said: “Both men were being paid to take the test by other candidates, and it soon became clear to us that the same men were taking the test for other people each time.”
