Independently invigilated certification exam
If a candidate cannot attend one of the worldwide authorised examination centres, the exam can be taken at a time and location of the candidate’s choice as long as it is invigilated (proctored) by a MIBoC approved invigilator.
Detailed description
Our Independently Invigilated Exam process enables a candidate to sit the certification exam online at a location of choice, supervised by an independent invigilator, that has been approved by MIBoC prior to the exam taking place.
The nominated invigilator must be a third and neutral party and independent. This nominated person must not be involved or have a background in condition monitoring and/or reliability based maintenance in any manner and must not be the direct supervisor, manager or related to the candidate taking the exam.
