    6. Assessment administration locations
We offer different types of environments for administering assessments, each designed to meet various testing needs while ensuring security and integrity. Below are descriptions of the three types of locations where assessments may be conducted
‍
6.1. In-Class Assessment
In-class assessments are conducted in traditional educational settings, such as classrooms within schools, universities, or training centers.
- Supervision: These assessments are overseen by a person present in the room to monitor the candidates throughout the test to ensure compliance with exam rules and prevent cheating.
- Setting: Candidates are physically present in a group, seated in a structured layout that facilitates supervision. There are no special proctoring tools such as cameras or microphones required, as the invigilator ensures that test integrity is maintained.
‍
6.2. Controlled Environment Assessment (Empty Room with Camera)
Controlled environment assessments are administered in a designated, isolated room specifically prepared for testing.
- Supervision: The room is equipped with fixed surveillance cameras to monitor the entire space.
- Setting: Candidates take the test in an empty room where no one else is present. The room is free of external distractions or resources, and its design is intended to prevent any form of cheating.
This environment is highly secure and minimizes the risk of external interference, providing a stringent level of control over the testing process.
‍
6.3. Remotely Proctored Assessment
Remotely proctored assessments allow candidates to complete their tests from any location, such as their home, office, or other personal spaces.
- Supervision: Remote proctoring tools, such as webcams, microphones, and screen monitoring software, are used to observe the candidate throughout the test in real-time. Proctors or automated systems watch for suspicious behavior to ensure the candidate follows the rules.
- Setting: Candidates take the test on their personal computers or devices. They are required to activate their webcam and microphone, and their screen is recorded to ensure they do not access unauthorized resources or receive outside assistance.
This setup provides flexibility for candidates while ensuring the test remains secure through remote surveillance technologies.

6.4 Exam conditions
The candidate is responsible for ensuring optimal testing conditions for the entire duration of the test. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Absence of auditory distractions
- Physical isolation
- Adequate lighting
- An unobstructed and properly positioned device camera (if applicable)
