Certification Exam and Testing Procedures

1. At the close of the workshop, you will receive an email from NC State (brickyard@ncsu.edu) to set up your Brickyard account to access the online exam for SCM I&M Certification. 

2. After you have completed the setup of your account and fully logged into our online course platform Reporter, click the Upcoming Events button on the Courses and Events tile. You have already been registered for this course and should be able to Access Online Content. 

3. You will have a period of 5 days starting at the conclusion of the workshop to complete the online exam. 

4. You will have 1 hour to complete the exam once you begin the exam.

5. Attendees will be allowed to use the slides in the Presentation Materials section above as well as any notes that they have taken during the workshop. Attendees cannot use one another, anyone else, or the internet as resources during the exam.

6. While this is an electronically administered exam, you do not automatically receive your score or a pass/fail message. The exams are graded by NC Cooperative Extension faculty or staff after the exam period closes.

7. You must receive a score of 80% or above to pass. Please allow 1 week for this grading period. 

8. If you pass the exam, you will receive an email with your certificate digitally attached approximately 1 week after the exam closes. PDH credits earned will be noted at the bottom of the certificate. Additionally, your information will be added to our Certified Professionals List. Final exam scores are not provided. 

9. If you do not have a passing score, you will receive an email from the workshop coordinators regarding a one-time exam retake. The workshop coordinators will not provide you with which questions you missed or how many questions you got wrong. The only information that is provided is if you have a passing or failing score.
