When starting an Exam, candidates are required to take and upload a clear picture of their face and a proof of identity (Accepted documents: National ID card, Passport, Driving license, Employer identification card in English, Academic ID). Therefore, candidates must be in a well-lit place, have a camera, allow their browser to access their camera, and make sure they have the proof of identity available next to them. The camera must remain in use during the whole examination, as videos of the exams are reviewed before any certification is issued.
It is advised to use an updated internet browser (Advisable to use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox)
The exam should not be taken in the incognito/private mode.
Candidates must make sure they start the Exam on time, as this is an automated system, and Exams are submitted by default at the end of each time slot.
The online examination environment must conform to the following:
A quiet, non-public, fully lighted room
No other people in the room
