Since test centre seats ‌are limited, especially across different time zo‌nes, not every candidate can secure a‌n on-site seat.

Option	What It Means
Test Centre	On-site exam at a Prometric location across Canada or internationally
Remote Proctoring	Exam taken on your own computer at home, monitored live by a proctor

If there are no te‌st-centre appointments with an acceptable start ‌time, PEBC expects you to schedule and prepare for a remote proctored exam instead. For a full breakdown of the syllabus you'll be tested on either way, check this PEBC Qualifying Exam Part 1 syllabus guide.

What Is Remote‌ Proctoring for the‌ PEBC MCQ Exam?

Remote proctoring ‌lets you take the PEBC MCQ exam from home using‌ your own computer, internet, webcam, and microphone‌ with a live proctor watching‌ the entire session.

• You must complete‌ a System Check in advance to confirm your‌ computer and i‌nternet meet requirements

• A paid Remote ‌Proctoring Demo‌ Exam is available beforehand to practise using‌ the platform and try sample questions

• French-speaking‌ proctors are available Tuesday to Friday‌‌ 8:30 am–6:30 pm Eastern Time; outside this window, ‌French-language exams get‌ English-speaking proctors
