Making a remote assessment event successful entails having access to adequate technology, proper communication, orientation processes and quality remote proctors.
As a long-standing provider of brick-and-mortar testing facilities worldwide, we are fully aware of the importance of the quality of proctoring, not only to ensure security but also to contribute to a seamless testing experience for the test-takers and allow them to perform to the best of their ability as if they were taking their test in a brick-and-mortar facility.
And we also acknowledge how tiring it can be for non-professionals to source and manage a team of quality proctors and reviewers for your remote assessment programs. We know how challenging it is, as we have been through this process ourselves for the last two years, working on building up a network of proctors who can offer the same level of engagement towards test takers as if they were in a brick-and-mortar facility.
Spare your valuable time, as we have already done all the work, and take advantage of our turnkey solutions for your proctoring and reviewing needs.
We have over 1000 multi-lingual proctors and reviewers located worldwide, and we can provide local proctoring services upon request.
Considering how vital the proctor is to ensuring a seamless testing experience for the test taker, before starting as a proctor at Certify, all proctor candidates are required to go through a series of procedures listed below to be eligible for proctoring:
