Now you can take your CDCES Exam from Home!
Wow! This is fantastic news. I sit for the CBCDE Exam for the 7th time next 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 Educator (CDCES) exam remotely!
By the end of this year, you will 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.
Get Familiar with the Requirements
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, besides the computer you are taking the test on are allowed. However, since there may be math questions, a basic calculator is allowed after clearance by the moderator. A 10-minute break is an option, but no changes to completed test questions are allowed after the break. In addition, the moderator will need 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.
