INFORMATION ON EXAMS WITH ONLINE PROCESSING

For exams with online supervision, Cert-IT uses the ProctorExam software to identify and remotely monitor candidates. With this software, the candidate is identified before the exam by showing a photo ID via camera and then the exam room is filmed once by the candidate via camera. During the test, two cameras (notebook webcam and mobile phone) record it from different perspectives. The recordings are viewed both live by supervisors and, if necessary, afterwards.
