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 recommend checking “Policies & Procedures” link on this webpage to review the exam rules and procedures.

  • A private room – if you do not 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.
