The equipment you need
- A laptop or desktop computer with Windows or macOS. No tablets, phones or Linux.
- A webcam, an external one if you use a desktop.
- A wired headset with a microphone. Bluetooth is not allowed.
- A stable connection, centres ask for 5 Mbps or more.
- The secure browser your centre tells you to use, installed before the test.
The room
- A closed, quiet, well-lit room where you are alone.
- Sitting at a table. Not on a sofa, a bed or in a car.
- Nothing written in English in sight, and your phone out of the room.
- Before you start, you show your ID and the room to the camera.
Before you book
- Not every centre offers it. Some centres only test in their own rooms.
- Ask whoever wants your certificate if they accept the home version. The certificate is the same, but some universities and employers set their own conditions.
- Install the secure browser and test your camera and headset a few days before, not on the day. If the centre offers a tech check, do it.
