A total of 12 Recertification Units (RUs) (21 RUs for DVEP, IPEP) are required to maintain SCTE certification without having to re-take the exam. If you have not earned the minimum RUs, you may retake the exam, incurring the cost of the testing fee. The RUs must be earned during the 3-years immediately following last certification date.

Visit the SCTE Recertification Process page or follow the steps below:

1. If you’re not already logged in to the SCTE Portal, login
2. Review your SCTE transcript for RUs earned within the three-year timeframe
3. If necessary, record any external training and respective documentation here
4. Once you have an estimated RU count, submit the recertification form
5. Finally, pay the application fee

Automated remote proctoring follows a “record and review” process that records a participant’s webcam video, microphone audio, screen, and web traffic during assessment delivery. Prior to beginning the exam, participants are prompted to hold their identification to the webcam and once the system captures a photo of the ID, the participant is allowed to start the exam.

Video is analyzed to detect a participant’s eye and head movements, identify when multiple faces are present, and detect ambient noise levels to flag potential unauthorized help from others.

Remote proctoring allows certification candidates the flexibility to take exams at any time from any location and does not require a human proctor. The exam platform records a participant’s webcam video, microphone audio, screen, and web traffic using a browser extension that must be installed prior to initiating the exam. All exam participants are prompted to display their government issued identification card to the webcam and once the system captures a photo of the ID, the participant is allowed to commence the exam.

Video is analyzed to detect a participant’s eye and head movements, identify when multiple faces are present, monitor what information is displayed on the screen, and detect ambient noise levels to flag potential unauthorized help from others for SCTE review.

Yes. Automated Remote Proctoring is configured to prompt participants to hold their government or company issued identification to the webcam prior to beginning the assessment. Once the system captures a photo of the ID, the participant is allowed to commence the assessment. The system will flag assessment results in which the scanned ID may be suspicious and warrants human review.

Automated Remote Proctoring uses a “record and review” process that records a participant’s webcam video, microphone audio, screen, and web traffic during assessment delivery.

In the age of generative AI, it’s more important than ever to ensure that certification reflects genuine knowledge and professional readiness. Although the SCTE exams will continue to follow an open-book format, the use of AI is not permitted.

Yes. You may still use a calculator during your certification exam.

The system monitors a participant’s keystrokes, browser resizing, copy/pasting, new browser tab or window opening, or the enabling of accessibility mode in attempts to circumvent the software. Video is analyzed to detect a participant’s eye and head movements and identify when multiple faces are present. Ambient noise levels are analyzed to flag potential unauthorized help from others. Ambient noise levels are monitored throughout the exam to detect any changes that fall outside of white noise and warrant review.

No. Although full recordings are available for each assessment session, the system applies a “suspicion level score” derived from an algorithm that considers the behaviors and other data points recorded during the assessment session. Additionally, suspicious behaviors and activities are flagged within each session recording as well as a detailed PDF report, enabling the reviewer to quickly review for possible transgressions.

Recording starts right as you enter the exam, after the diagnostics pre-check and exam agreement have been completed. Recording stops as soon as the test-taker submits or closes the exam.

All exam recordings are stored for a period of 6 months.

Participants taking assessments must use either

• Google’s Chrome browser with Proctorio’s Secure Exam Proctor Chrome extension
• Microsoft Edge with Proctorio’s Secure Exam Proctor extension

If the extension isn’t installed beforehand, users will be redirected to add the extension upon opening their certification exam. Installation typically takes about a minute.
