Online Educator Exam Instructions

Written Exam:

Here's what you can expect for your written online exam:

First, you need two devices, preferably, Your smartphone and a Laptop. But the laptop can be replaced with another smartphone or tablet. If you are using an extra phone or a tablet, you will need a phone stand or tripod where you can mount it so you can adjust your camera angle. With a laptop, you can use your built-in webcam.

Install the Zoom app on your tablet or your phone. If you are accessing from a computer you can simply go to  www.zoom.us We will get an email from us with a Zoom meeting ID or URL where you can just click to join when it's time for your written exam.

Once you are connected with one of our team members, you will then receive a text message from us to your phone with a unique temporary link that will be generated at the time of the test. URLs will not be available after the test. Once you click on that link the online written test will begin and will start our timer. You will be taking the written test on your phone or tablet.

However, before you start the exam on your phone, you will need to adjust the webcam or phone/tablet angel so we can see the entire screen of your device and a little bit of your face.

You will get 50 min to finish the test and the entire session will be recorded. We will check on you every 10-15min to see if you have any questions. The entire session is recorded and we will check on you randomly as well. 

Once you finish and hit submit, you will receive the result within 24 hours, usually within hours. The questions are also randomly selected each time.

 

Online Practical Exam:

On the day of your practical exam, you will receive an email with a URL for the Zoom video conference. You can use your phone/tablet or laptop to connect to one of our team members using the Zoom app. If you are using a smartphone, be sure to have some sort of phone mount so you can adjust the camera angle. The camera angle should be facing the table, the camera should be directly above the table you set up so your application process is fully visible.
