Exam Policy & Info
Howdy!
If you've stumbled this far, you're either looking to sit an exam, or wanting to learn more about my policy for remote exams!
Before contacting me:
In order to sit an exam with me, and to streamline the process, I require the following:
Practice Tests
- Evidence that you will pass your selected exam(s) on your first attempt.
- You can prove this by attaching 2 to 3 results from practice exams. "Aptitude" & "seen" graphs from HamStudy.org will also suffice, assuming they show marks above 80% and 100% respectively.
- Repeat attempts will be subject to an initial deposit, that will be refunded on successful completion of your exam.
- Evidence that you will pass your selected exam(s) on your first attempt.
Photo Identification
- In order to prevent exam fraud, valid photo identification is required prior to writing your exam.
Valid Canadian Mailing Address
- ISED requires a valid Canadian mailing address in order to send your Certificate of Proficiency upon passing your exam.
Accommodations
- Depending on your situation, I may be able to offer accommodations or exams in a different format if requested.
- Ex: if you have a condition that prevents you from completing a written exam, an oral examination can be offered instead.
- Please reach out well in advance if you require any accommodations.
- Depending on your situation, I may be able to offer accommodations or exams in a different format if requested.
Writing your exam:
Once you've satisfied the requirements from above, please refer to the following:
For remote examinations, the following hardware is required:
- Webcam & Microphone.
- A laptop or desktop capable of opening PDFs and running teleconferencing software simultaneously.
- Blank scrap paper and/or a non-programmable calculator. (as required)
A invite link will be provided by email, before the start of your exam. Late or no-shows may be subject to a fee or cancellation.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out!
