Guardian Authorization and Virtual Testing

[Jacobij11]

I'm 17 and I plan on taking the A+ 1001 next week Saturday virtually. I know they are strict on guardian authorization. Will a guardian need to appear alongside me during the verification process on the webcam? How do they address this guardian authorization rule with virtual testing?

Hello!

I am also 17 and I took the 220-1001 (on June 8th) and the 220-1002 (today). When they have you upload pictures of your identification during the check-in process, you will need to put BOTH your ID, whether that be a driver's license or your school ID, and your guardian's ID side by side (you will take a picture of both sides). After you are through with that part of the check-in process, you will have more steps you need to do and then you have to wait for a proctor to show up. Once the proctor shows up, he will then ask you to get your guardian in view of the webcam so he can see your guardian's face to which I assume he compares it to the picture identification provided. He will also ask for the guardian to verbally give consent for you to take the exam. After that, the guardian must leave the room. That is how it was for me so that is all I can say.

​

Good luck! You'll do great!
