Onboarding

Preparing for an online exam with BESA Academy

What is Proctoring?

Our online courses require online assessments, which take place through the support of proctoring. Proctoring allows users to take an assessment online whilst ensuring the integrity of it:

• By verifying it's you
• By monitoring you via video to look for any behaviour which could indicate cheating
  

For more information on Proctoring, download the guidance.

Onboarding process

The onboarding process creates your profile in our proctoring system and ensures everything is working correctly before taking the online assessment.

• Student photo ID
  
• Government issued driver's license
• Passport
• National identification card

• Face
• Valid ID
• Knuckle

You cannot begin your online assessment until your onboarding status is approved and states 'passed'.

IMPORTANT – THIS COULD TAKE UP TO 4 TO 8 HOURS

How to set up a proper testing environment

• Use a private area or room which is well lit – with no one near you
• Turn off all noise making devices including mobiles and ensure windows are closed to prevent noise from outside
• Sit directly in front of your webcam and ensure your face is clearly visible
• Close irrelevant tabs and windows on your computer

Test guidelines

• Have your photo ID ready
• No short breaks
• Only one keyboard, mouse and monitor
• Food or drinks not allowed
• Assessment is timed
• Personal items not allowed
