Testing Personnel

CCO Testing Personnel are essential to ensuring the security, integrity, and fairness of certification testing. Companies credential their own personnel to maintain strict control over the testing process, ensuring compliance with industry standards and maintain exam security.

Roles & Responsibilities

CCO exams require credentialed personnel to administer both Event Online Testing (EOT) and Practical exams. Below are the key roles involved:

• Practical Exam Proctor (PEP): Administers hands-on testing, upholds test integrity, and trains Assistant Proctors.

• Prerequisite: Must hold certification in the area they wish to proctor. PEP applicants for newer programs must pass the written exam; the practical exam will be completed during training.

One person may hold multiple roles as long as they have completed the required credentialing.
