Requirements to Take the CRTS™ Exam

CRTS™ exams are now proctored remotely by RPNow. Exam Candidates will need a laptop or PC with a camera and microphone and you must be able to take the exam in a room without any notes or other people in the room. You must stay in the room during the entire ID and exam process. Phones and tablets are not supported at this time. You will be able to take the exam at any time, 24 x 7.

Once you apply, a paper guide with step-by-step screenshots of the process will be emailed to you. You can review a generic version via the link below. You will be allowed to have this remote proctoring guide in the room with you if you feel you need it, but you can't make any notes on it. The CRTS™ exam is NOT an "open book" exam.
