Exam IT Proctor

 

Each CPA preparatory course and CPA PEP module culminates in an exam, written in regional exam centres. Students and candidates use their own laptops during exams. A lockdown software, called Securexam, is used to prevent students and candidates from accessing unauthorized materials during the exams.

IT proctors troubleshoot so students and candidates can continue writing their exams with as little interruption as possible if they experience technical issues related to Securexam before or during their exams.

Before applying for this position, please review the CPAWSB Conflict of Interest Policy. 

Compensation

Compensation is $50 per hour. Exam centres run from a half-day to a full day, and IT proctors are paid for time spent setting up before and wrapping up after each exam.

Requirements: Skills

IT proctors must be technologically adept and need to learn how to troubleshoot Securexam. Additionally, IT proctors must be comfortable working under pressure, and able to maintain a calm and reassuring demeanor while addressing candidate technical issues during exams.

Requirements: Equipment

Proctors are expected to bring the following items to exam centres:

  • portable printer with spare ink cartridge
  • cell phone, capable of being set to vibrate
  • laptop, with the following minimum capabilities:
    • 2 GB of RAM
    • 1 GB of available hard drive space
    • two available USB ports
    • Windows 7 or 8 (32 or 64-bit OS)
    • Microsoft Word and Excel installed
    • Securexam Workbench installed (provided by CPAWSB)
    • Wi-Fi access capability

Training

New IT proctors shadow an experienced IT proctor for their first exam. Additionally, CPAWSB regularly holds training webinars to familiarize new IT proctors with Securexam and how to run exam centres.

Current Opportunities

CPAWSB is always looking to expand its IT proctor pool. Please contact us at pepexamcontractors@cpawsb.ca or online.adminprep@cpawsb.ca to inquire about next steps.
