ANYPLACE, ANYTIME — CERTIFICATION TESTING MADE EASY
I
magine being able to take the Landscape Industry Cer- tified exams* in your office or back home. You could take the exams not only where you wanted, but also when you wanted without traveling to a test facility that could be several miles away.
That’s just what certification candidates will soon be doing thanks to a new relationship between NALP and ProctorU, an online proctoring service. The service will allow them to take certification exams online anywhere, anytime, and at their own convenience. The service will be easy to use, with no phone calls or talking to customer service reps. Candidates will schedule their test online at a date and time of their choice and select their language preference. The new service will also be affordable and secure.
Sound too good to be true? It’s not. Thanks to web cameras, microphones, hi-speed Internet, advancements in web browsers and enhanced computer memory, technology can easily replace the proctor who roams the
room to ensure all candidates take their tests on a level play- ing field.
Online proctors can do virtually anything that in-room proctors can. They can validate the work area, view the work-
station, identify and time candidates and even answer questions by helping them navigate through the test. The service will be available for candidates later this summer. Stay tuned for more information about a new testing environment that promises to be much more ac- cessible and very user friendly. * Landscape Industry Certified exams include Landscape Industry Certified Manager, Landscape Industry Certified Interior Technician, Landscape Industry Certified Horti- cultural Technician, Landscape Industry Certified Lawn Care Technician and Landscape Industry Certified Lawn Care Technician - National. 7
