IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to ensure the web camera is working and properly configured to your browser before launching the Final Test. If your session fails the integrity check, you will receive a FAILED session and lose your attempt.

The Process

When you have completed your training and are ready to start the Final Test, you will be prompted to:

Step 1:

Allow access to your web camera & microphone. Review and accept the Privacy Policy.

Note: Some browsers may require you to allow camera access for specific websites. Close all other programs that might be connected to your camera before you begin.

Step 2:

Take a photo of yourself and your I.D. using your web camera. Your I.D. must have a photo, date of birth, and be valid.

 Note:  The Personal Health Information Protection Act (2004) prevents Smart Serve Ontario from accepting Health Cards as valid identification.

Step 3:

Take the test. Our proctoring system will monitor you for the duration of the test. Any rules broken will result in a FAILED session. You must remain in camera view at all times.

Note: You are being monitored. Ensure the room has good lighting and there are no distractions. No one can assist you during the test.
