The exam can be taken online, using the OnVUE online proctoring service, with the necessary precautions taking place. Candidates must go on PearsonVUE.com, and create an account. Once they have logged in, they can begin the exam, and must then download and run the OnVUE software. When running the OnVUE software, candidates will be asked to follow the instructions making up the ‘check-in process’. This includes taking a headshot photo, verifying their identification and taking pictures of the surroundings, which should be a private area absent of any pictures or notes. Once this process is complete, candidates will then be able to begin the exam. During the exam, candidates will be monitored via their webcam and microphone, and will not be able to leave the room or move out of the proctor view. If candidates have any questions whilst taking the exam, there is a ‘chat’ icon in which they are able to ask the proctor.Â
