Basically, proctored means that someone will be overseeing you while you take the exam. Think of it as someone who is looking over your shoulder while answering the exam questions. The proctored exam component is easiest to use on a laptop or PC. You can take the final exam on your smartphone, but the controls are not fully optimized for mobile devices. You can study the entire course on your iPhone or Android device and, when you are ready, take the exam on your computer or laptop.

The proctoring component is scored based on the frequency of distractions or when the camera is obscured, preventing the proctor from seeing your face. This will trigger a manual review of the session. Please refrain from obscuring your face with your hands while taking the final exam (especially if you are using a handheld device, as your hand can interfere with the camera as you select your responses).

A short video, available within the course before the exam, provides detailed information on the proctoring process. It is highly recommended to watch the tutorial within the course about how to successfully take the proctored exam.

We included the proctoring component with our South Carolina alcohol training as it is a requirement by the South Carolina Alcohol Beverage Licensing (ABL).

The proctoring component is new for both you and us. Our support staff is available to answer any questions you may have.
