Authoring Level 2 Certification Guide

Exams Overview

The certification exam consists of 2 parts - a theory exam (4 hours) and a practical exam (5 hours). You may not need all this time to complete exam.

• The theory exam consists of 20 questions which are completed in the e-learning platform.

• The practical exam consists of 10 questions which will involve authoring and submitting for marking in the training authoring platform.

• To have access to the practical exam (pass mark is 80% or above) you must first pass the theory exam (pass mark is 70% or above). 

• You will be notified whether you have passed the theory exam by email. If you have passed the theory exam, the practical exam will be made available on your scheduled date.

• Each exam needs to be scheduled on different days

Exam Proctoring

Like other SNOMED International courses, the certification exams will be performed on the SNOMED CT e-learning platform. However unlike the other course assessments, the certification exams 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.
