Monitoring of PEBC Computer-based examinations

The integrity of PEBC’s examinations is of the utmost importance to ensure that the determination of competence reflects candidates’ actual performance and is not the result of, or impacted by, cheating, candidate misconduct, or other testing irregularities. Examination bodies regularly evolve their processes and security measures to address technological advancements and potential new methods for unethical candidates to attempt to circumvent security controls (particularly for remote proctoring).

Out of an abundance of caution, PEBC is enhancing its measures to monitor and detect attempted misconduct or malicious behaviour in its exams. For remote proctored exams, these measures will include a review of applications and processes that are running on candidates’ computers during the exam and will be recording candidates’ activities on their screen throughout the exam. PEBC reserves the right to invalidate candidate results that indicate testing irregularities, and candidates who are found to have breached PEBC’s Rules of Conduct will be sanctioned to the fullest extent possible. Candidates are reminded that they required to read, consent to, and abide by PEBC Rules of Conduct, Privacy Policy, and all other PEBC Policies as a condition of taking PEBC examinations.
