In an effort to support customers and individuals to continue their education online in these extraordinary times, Certiport has developed a new assessment solution, “Certiport Exams from Home.” Using virtual machines, test candidates can take administered exams from home. This new solution allows individuals to continue to pursue an industry-recognized certification that will distinguish themselves from others in an increasingly difficult hiring environment. With “Certiport Exams from Home,” test candidates can have a seamless and convenient testing experience, as long as they have a high-speed internet connection from home. This temporary solution will be available through June 30, 2020 and is available where permitted by law.
Certiport has been piloting this solution over the past several weeks throughout the U.S. and Canada. School districts and higher education institutions that have been involved indicate very positive experiences. Customers who have participated are encouraged that individuals in their areas will be able to complete testing this school year with this offering. Some states require approval from state agencies for funding with this solution. Please check with your specific agencies for confirmation.
Certiport has developed two options for this solution, now available for CATC’s in North America: 1) a Full-Service option in which a Certiport Authorized Testing Center (CATC) schedules a testing session and a Certiport employee administers the exam remotely; or 2) a Self-Service option in which a CATC instructor may schedule and administer the exams to candidates themselves.
The Certiport Exams from Home solution starts with a Certiport Authorized Testing Center (CATC) visiting www.certiport.com/examsfromhome. This web page outlines the process to enable candidates to test from home. Included on this web page are instructions for:
Scheduling a Testing Session
Exam Administrator Guide
Test Candidate Guide
Instructors can schedule exams in groupings of either 5 or 10 individuals to test in one exam session. Scheduling opens at 8:00 a.m. MDT on Thursday, April 16, 2020. CATC’s can schedule at their convenience based on availability they see in the system.
FULL-SERVICE OPTION
With the Full-Service option, the Exam Administrator (Instructor) will rely on a Certiport representative to administer the exams to the Test Candidate in a virtual environment using virtual machines. Due to the coordination required between all parties, exams must be requested and scheduled in advance. We request that you only request exam reservations for the number of exams that you will use. Any questions or changes to a scheduled exam must be made 48 hours in advance by e-mailing examsfromhome@pearson.com.
SELF-SERVICE OPTION
While the Full-Service option is very convenient, availability is limited. The Self-Service option provides greater flexibility in administration of exams. While scheduling for either option can be done beginning at 8:00 a.m. MDT on Thursday, April 16, 2020, Self-Service exam delivery will only be activated for use beginning on Tuesday, April 21, 2020.
A Certiport employee will administer the exams through a hosted, typical exam experience with a high-speed internet connection and almost any computer. To participate, follow the steps on this link to schedule exams from home: www.certiport.com/examsfromhome as well as to review technical requirements.
The Certiport Exams from Home solution is currently available in English and is being piloted internationally.
It is our hope that this “Certiport Exams from Home” solution will allow individuals to continue their education experience and complete the school year with an industry-recognized certification for their future college and career success.
