Proctors

View Our Current Listing of Participating Proctors

SCTE certification policies and procedures require the presence of an approved proctor throughout the exam process. The proctor's primary role is to protect the integrity and value of the SCTE Certification.

A proctor agrees to:

• Take the necessary steps to become approved (follow the steps below)
• Verify each candidates's identity before logging in the candidate, to ensure that a more qualified "stand-in" isn't taking the exam
• Be present, in the same room, during the entire time a candidate is testing
• Ensure that no exam questions are copied, printed or compromised in any way
• Provide all candidates an equal chance to pass an exam. This includes:
  • Ensuring all computers are operating properly
  • Allowing proper access to reference materials
  • Monitoring Internet use
  • Explaining the Question Challenge Process

SCTE Proctor Tips is a summary of what a proctor needs to know when proctoring exams.

SCTE greatly appreciates our proctors' efforts to help others earn certification and to help increase the competence of those within the profession. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please contact certification@scte.org.

As defined by the Society, certification is "the formal recognition by a cognizant peer group of the demonstrated accomplishment of proficiency with and the comprehension of the uniquely defined body of knowledge at a point in time." It is not a measure of competence.

Equal opportunity will be provided to all certification candidates regardless of race, religion, sex, national origin, age, color, ancestry, mental or physical disability or handicap, veteran's status or any other classification protected by applicable law.
