Remote proctored exam provides great flexibility for students who prefer to write their exam from the comfort of their home or other location. That said, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that their personal computer—that they plan to use for the exam—satisfies the minimum system requirements and meets all other technical criteria. Students are also responsible to ensure their surroundings and internet connection meet the remote proctoring requirements. Our exam partner, Prometric, provides technical support before and during your exam. On the exam day, the Readiness Agent or Proctor will be available to assist at all times.

An in-person exam at a test centre is a great option for students who prefer to write their exams in a formal and controlled exam environment. Students will be guided through the security and check-in process as soon as they arrive at the test centre. Test centre personnel are responsible for the environment set-up and technology functionality. All you need to do is come prepared to challenge your exam.
