What Is Prctr.com?
During your exam, you may have seen references to Prctr.com — our dedicated platform for live online exam proctoring.
“Prctr” is short for proctoring, which is another term for invigilating — the process of monitoring candidates during an exam to ensure the test is completed fairly and securely. Proctoring can be done either in person or remotely, and at Prctr.com, we specialise in the latter.
Live Online Proctoring — How It Works
At Prctr.com, we aim to replicate the structure and reassurance of a traditional exam room by using real, live invigilators.
Unlike automated or recorded proctoring (where footage is reviewed after the exam), live proctoring means issues can be addressed immediately — whether they're related to technical glitches or candidate conduct.
This approach also offers a friendlier and more personal experience for candidates. You’ll be greeted by a real person who will talk you through the rules before your exam begins.
1-to-1 Invigilation for a Smoother Experience
All our exam sessions are conducted on a one-to-one basis. This means:
-
You get the full attention of a dedicated invigilator
-
Any technical issues can be dealt with on the spot
-
There’s no risk of being disrupted by other candidates
-
It’s ideal for those who may be less confident with technology
Our invigilators are there to support and monitor, ensuring a calm, focused exam environment that closely mirrors an in-person setting.
Secure Monitoring with Zoom & Proctoring Tools
Prctr.com uses Zoom to conduct live proctoring. During your exam, we monitor:
-
📷 Your webcam (face-view camera)
-
🖥️ Your screen activity
-
🎧 Your microphone audio

All data is stored in the client’s secure, cloud-based storage, accessible to their awarding organisation or training provider.
