REMOTE PROCTORING GUIDELINES:

Should the situation warrant a Remote Proctor, the following additional guidelines apply:

  • Date, Time, and Locations of both the Proctor and the Candidate must be submitted to the IFPO prior to the testing date for Remote Proctor approval.
  • A Remote Proctor must agree to monitor the candidate through web camera (Zoom, Team Mtgs, etc.) during the ENTIRE DURATION of the Final Examination (up to four hours).
  • A Screen Shot from the Proctor’s webcam/computer indicating beginning time of exam, as well as a screen shot during any breaks taken by the candidate, and a screen shot when the candidate completes the final exam. These screen shots must be submitted via email by the proctor, along with a digitally signed Proctor Verification Form. The submissions are the final step in the candidate’s CPO certification program and must be received and approved to complete the CPO certification process.
