Scheduling a Proctored Exam
1. Schedule your proctored exam session with the proctor. For the CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep® exam, you will need a 2.5 hour session; for the CSIA Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician® exam, you will need 30 minutes. The test is available online or on paper, depending on your preference and the capabilities of your exam proctor. ProctorU and most testing centers will only administer an online exam. Some CSIA approved proctors are capable of proctoring an online exam, but please confirm with them directly. To ensure your exam is delivered the proctor in time, CSIA requires 72-hours notice for online exams and ten business days' notice for a paper exam. For online exams, both the proctor and the test taker will be emailed instructions and login information for the exam the day before the scheduled exam. 2. Order your exam through CSIA (online or paper). When ordering, select the "event" that corresponds to the month you are taking the exam (for instance, if you are taking the exam September 17, please select September 1). You will be required to sign the CSIA Code of Ethics at the time of the exam. Exam Results
Paper exams will be returned to CSIA for grading and additional processing by your proctor shortly after your appointment. Online exam results will be known upon completion of the exam. |
