Exam Proctoring

Like other SNOMED International courses, the certification exam will be performed on the SNOMED CT e-learning platform. However unlike the other course assessments, the certification exam will use a remote proctoring service, which seamlessly integrates with the Chrome browser. This proctoring service will monitor your computer's webcam, microphone and desktop, and will lock down certain functions during the exam. It will also require you to verify your identity using a valid photo ID. The proctoring service will inform you before each proctored exam as to exactly what data will be collected during the exam.
