Taking Your Exam Online
You can take your Written/Oral exam from home or work through Credentia Online proctoring. A live proctor (someone who supervises the test) will securely monitor you through the webcam on your workstation. Online exams also offer you more scheduling flexibility than test center exams to fit with your schedule.
Visit https://www.credentia.com/online-exams/ for information on what to expect and how to best prepare for your Online exam. We also recommend that you click on the “Policies & Procedures” link on this webpage to review the exam rules and procedures.
Requirements for Online Exam
- The right computer – a desktop, laptop, or Chrome book with a single monitor (no smartphones or tablets).
- A private room – if you don’t have access to a private room, check with your training program or local library for availability.
- A mobile device – the proctor will need to see all around your exam area with a 360-degree room scan. Please be sure you have a smartphone or tablet (Apple or Android) that can do this using our free app.
Prerequisite
Do the below steps before your online exam:
- Run a system test – make sure to do the required system test and exam simulation before exam day. Visit www.credentia.com/online-exams and select “Run System Test.
- Find your testing space – you need a quiet area in your home or office to take your exam.
ID Card Requirement
You are required to have two (2) forms of official ID with a signature (one must be a photo identification).
| Note: Photocopies of identification will not be accepted. |
Examples of identification you can use include:
- Driver’s license
- Social Security card
- Clinic card
- Credit card
- Library card
- State-issued identification card
- Passport
- Alien registration card
The name on your identification must be the same as the name you used on the application to register for the examination. If you do not bring proper identification, you will not be allowed to test, and your examination fee will not be refunded. If you no show for two examinations your application to test will be removed and you will need to re-apply.
IMPORTANT: If you can’t take the test because of this, it still counts as one of your 3 chances to take the exam because you were not prepared — please have the correct forms of identification!
