Attention: In response to COVID-19 procedures, Prometric has temporarily redirected their Candidate Care staff from inbound phone inquiries to service issues dealing with capacity displacements and cancellations.  If you are having trouble with the online scheduling system, communications to Prometric are being directed via the form on their contact us page. This is currently the best avenue to ensure you receive support. Please be warned that response times may still be delayed due to a high volume of requests.

  1. To schedule a Remotely Proctored Exam

Review the ProProctor User Guide and confirm your computer’s compatibility to allow remote proctoring.  Remote proctored online exams are offered using Prometric’s ProProctor™ application. For a remotely proctored exam, you must supply the computer which must have a camera, microphone and an internet connection and be able to install a lightweight app prior to the test event. You will be able to take the exam online while a Prometric proctor is overseeing the examination process remotely.
