A stable internet connection with at least 3mbps. An integrated (i.e., fixed) webcam on your PC/ laptop or a portable webcam. If using a PC/ laptop with an integrated webcam, a reflective surface (e.g., a mirror) must be available. This will be used to show the invigilator the space immediately surrounding your screen and keyboard. A basic (non-scientific) calculator for maths assessments. You will have access to an on-screen calculator but may feel more comfortable using a separate calculator. Please note that all workings need to be added to the assessment platform if you use a separate calculator so that your workings can be marked. Plain paper. You will need to show this to your invigilator at the beginning of the exam to assure them that you do not have access to notes. A dictionary (where allowed). Supported Browsers Chrome: 34.0.1847 or above Microsoft Edge: Version 88.0.705.81 or newer Firefox: 31.0 or above Safari: 6.2 or above Safe Exam Browser 2.0.2 or above Please note: Chromebooks are not compatible with the Safe Exam Browser Browser settings Popups must be allowed. Guidance on how to do this below: Chrome Edge Firefox Safari For TQUK: Exam conditions All remote exams must take place in a controlled environment. Training Qualifications UK (TQUK) defines a controlled environment as a quiet, appropriate space conducive to the undertaking of a remotely invigilated exam. The environment must be: populated only by you, the learner, and no other parties well-lit to allow maximum webcam visibility free from distractions that may cause you to divert your attention away from the computer screen or move outside of the webcam’s viewing range free from notes and posters on the wall free from noise free from personal or sensitive material free from visual or physical access to supporting materials (such as educational texts) free from electronic devices, other than the computer used to undertake the exam. The space, as described above, must meet these requirements throughout the entire duration of the exam. If the exam conditions requirements are not met, the exam may be voided. If, for any reason, you are unable to undertake the exam in a space that meets these requirements, you should inform your training provider/recognised centre at the earliest opportunity and arrange your exam at a time when these conditions can be met. You must have a desktop or laptop computer that is equipped with a working webcam, a stable internet connection, and the Google Chrome web browser (available here). Requirements and guidance for materials: The following relates to materials within the controlled environment and must be followed to ensure compliance: Mobile phones and electronic devices, except for the computer you are using to undertake the exam, must be switched off and stored in an inaccessible location. Smartwatches and other wearable technological devices must be switched off and removed. Headphones must not be worn. Water must be stored in a clear glass or a clear bottle with the labels removed. No other food or drink is permitted. Second monitors are not permitted. Identification must be clearly presented to the camera at the start of an exam. If identification is not provided, or is unclear, at the start of the exam, this will result in the exam being voided. A room sweep must be completed at the start of an exam. If a room sweep is not completed, the exam will be voided. has context menu
