Online Proctoring Using Advanced Technologies

How Online Proctoring Strengthens the CIGO Certification:

- Ability to be assessed when and where it’s convenient and comfortable


- Authenticate identities to make sure we are testing the right person


- Full recording provides evidence of exam session


- Free technical support available if something goes wrong


Q: What do your proctors watch during an exam?

We're looking for potential aberrant behavior during exams such as looking off screen, accessing unpermitted materials, speaking aloud, or allowing other people in the room. Additionally, our artificial intelligence (AI) works to assist proctors in identifying small lighting or sound adjustments and unique behavioral patterns that may warrant further inspection.  

100% Online Training & Testing

With our 100% Online approach, you can study and test in the privacy or your home or office.
