Exam and Proctor Details
Exam Availability
Your exam will be accessed through The National Alliance’s Learning Management System (LMS). The exam will be available to you beginning at 12:01 am CST on April 11 and will remain open until 11:59 pm CST on April 14. You will have two hours to complete the exam once you begin. All questions are essay/short answer.
Plan accordingly for taking your exam. We do not advise taking the exam on Thursday after 4:30 pm because our offices are closed and you will not have access to technical assistance if needed. Exam access will not be granted after the exam window closes.
Exam Proctor
CIC online exams require a proctor be present while you take the exam. All programs beginning Feb. 1, 2021 and after will require a disinterested third-party to proctor the exam.
Disinterested Third-Party: Someone with no direct business or family relationship to the participant. A disinterested party must have no financial interest in your success or failure. A disinterested party will be someone who is not concerned with the outcome of your exam.
- Examples of proctors who DO NOT qualify: Anyone within your same organization who is a coworker, team mate, or manager; friends; family members.
- Examples of proctors who qualify: Official testing centers at colleges and universities, other learning centers like Sylvan, online proctoring services like MonitorEDU, or someone in a dedicated HR or training department role within your organization.
If you are more comfortable, you may also use MonitorEDU.com, a National Alliance approved online proctoring system. You can learn more and access their service at https://scicproctor.com/how-it-works.
It is important that you never launch your exam without a proctor present to avoid losing your exam attempt. For more information on National Alliance proctor requirements or to view instructional videos please visit https://www.scic.com/proctor-monitor-rules.
Prior to Exam - Submitting your Proctor for Approval
If you’re taking the exam you must submit your proctor information no later than the end of class on day two of the course. Late proctor submissions will not be accepted, and you will be required to use the MonitorEDU service. If you have issues with proctor submission, contact examhelp@scic.com for further assistance.
After you submit proctor details, you’ll receive a pop-up message that reads “request sent successfully.” All proctor submissions are automatically approved upon submission. You will ONLY receive an email notification from The National Alliance if they determine that your original proctor does not meet the definition of the disinterested third-party as explained above.
The Friday afternoon prior to the exam window opening, The National Alliance will send exam instructions, including an exam access PIN, to your proctor’s email address. We recommend you confirm receipt of the exam instruction email with your proctor in advance of your planned test date.
Follow these steps to submit your proctor information:
- Login to your PROfile account at https://pro.scic.com/SignIn.
- Click “Course History” on the left.
- Find the name of your course and click the “Proctor” button to the right.
- Fill in the proctor information fields and “Submit” or if using MonitorEDU, select the MonitorEDU option shown at the top.
Accessing the Exam
During the exam window mentioned above, you will have access to the online exam via your PROfile account. Your PROfile is your official CIC tracking platform through The National Alliance. Use the link below to access your PROfile. If you have not accessed your PROfile before or if you forget your login information, you can request it from the login page. If this is the first CIC program you’re attending you will not have a PROfile account. You should contact The National Alliance for further assistance at 800-633-2165.
Note: We suggest that you access your PROfile prior to the exam window opening so you can work out any login issues in advance. This will avoid any added tension during the exam window.
