Where there are particular concerns about contract cheating it may be useful to train markers on how to detect it. After completing a three-hour training workshop, markers in one study accurately detected more than 80% of the contract cheating assignments they marked (Dawson & Sutherland-Smith, 2019). The agenda for this training workshop is available as a free and reproducible resource.

In Australian research studies, when markers were not looking for contract cheating they did not detect it (Lines, 2016), but when markers were asked to spot contract cheating they detected it around 60% of the time (Dawson & Sutherland-Smith, 2018, 2019). One of the simplest and cheapest interventions to improving contract cheating detection rates therefore is to alert staff to the possibility of contract cheating, and have clear processes in place for them to follow up suspicions.
