CCAOM Live-Proctored Written Exam Requirements

Exam Room Setup

• You will need to following items to adequately set up your written exam space:
o a computer or laptop with built-in OR USB plug-in camera for taking your test*
o a Smartphone/tablet with a functioning camera and microphone for being
proctored during your test*
o reliable internet connection
o a power source for both devices being used with a cord long enough to allow
them to be moved if necessary
o a phone stand or something to prop the phone/tablet on (i.e. nearby shelf,
books unrelated to exam content, etc.)
o government issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.)
o a quiet room where you will be alone and undisturbed for up to two hours
*Notes: Two devices with cameras are required for the written exam.

bright light, such as a window or lamp, behind you)
• Your table or desk must be clear, other than the devices being used for your exam
• The areas beneath your desk and chair should be clear
• You must be alone in the exam room for the duration of the exam. No one may enter the

that would interfere with the ability of the proctor to monitor the exam.
• Landlines, non-required electronics, and any security or recording devices in the room are
turned off and are put away in a safe place/not within reach
Additional Requirements
• Before accessing the exam, download WebLock software to the device you will be
completing the exam from. Please note, you must be logged in as a user with
administrative rights on the device to successfully download the software. This software
is required for completing the exam. Detailed instructions for downloading WebLock
software can be found in your portal in the document titled “Preparing for your Live-
Proctored Online CNT Written Exam.”

You can remove the software after you have passed the written exam. Click here for
