Online exams are administered and proctored by ProctorU, a secure, live-video proctoring service that ensures the integrity of our exams. The exam must be taken in a private space where the candidate is alone in a quiet room with no background noise or people walking by. The desk or workspace must be clear of any materials. Upon approval of exam application, ICML will send an email with a URL link to create a new account (or access an existing one) at ProctorU and schedule the exam date and time. Scheduling is based on slot availability. Exam appointments are available 24/7 and require a minimum of 72 hours advance scheduling.

A paper exam is administered in the physical presence of a proctor, at a location that meets the approval of ICML. Most paper exams are conducted in group settings following classroom-style training courses that have been scheduled in advance by plant managers or training companies, so they are usually listed in our exam calendar. However, we can also arrange for private, proctored, paper exam sessions.
