Wow! This is fantastic news. I sit for the CBCDE Exam for the 7th time this year, and I am definitely going to take advantage of this remote feature! ~ Coach Beverly
The Certification Board for Diabetes Care & Education (CBDCE) is now offering the opportunity to take your Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) exam remotely!
Starting in 2022, you have the option to take your certification exam using their new Live Remote Online Proctoring (LRP) platform.
LRP is a secure and non-invasive platform that uses professional proctors and technology to monitor candidates live while they complete the Certification Examination for Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (Exam). This method of test delivery allows the candidate to take the exam from their home, office or a remote site, using their own computer. The process is secure, easily accessible, and monitors testing activity and records all aspects of the exam testing session.
During your exam appointment, you will be connected with a moderator who will guide you through the process and be there throughout your entire exam. You will need to share your screen and broadcast yourself during your entire exam. Your workspace should be quiet, tidy, and free of any study notes/materials.
No electronics are allowed and participants are not allowed to take a break. In addition, the moderator can request to rescan your workspace to make sure it is free of study notes and materials. After you take the exam, you will instantly get a report of your results.
To connect to the LRP platform, you will need a computer with a webcam and microphone. The CBDCE recommends that you run compatibility tests before your exam to ensure your equipment is compatible.
