How to Access Your Exam:

If you have not accessed your PROfile before or if you forget your login information, you can request it at this link:  https://www.scic.com/customer/account/login

Note: We suggest that you access your PROfile during class to ensure you have the correct login information.  This way you have time to contact the Client Support Team for assistance prior to the exam window opening.

The exam is digital and is accessed through your Learning Portal. Log in to your PROfile at https://pro.scic.com/SignIn.  You will click on “Learning Portal” icon at the top of your home screen.  On the “Course History” page of the PROfile, select the appropriate “Launch Learning Portal” button to find exam instructions and take the final exam.  Once you’re in the Learning Portal, you will see the title of your course.  Please click on the Launch button to access the course content.  If you’ve already been in the course, the button will say Resume.  Launching your course will display the exam/proctor instructions, the Exam Policy Acknowledgement and Affidavit, and the digital final exam. The affidavit only applies to CISR and CSRM.

Exam Availability):

All exams will be administered online.  Your exam will be accessed through the learning portal in your PROfile page with The National Alliance’s Learning Management System (LMS). The exam will be available to you beginning immediately after the end of the course through Thursday at 11:59 PM Central Standard Time the week following the course.  You will have one hour to complete the exam once you begin.  The exam is 50 questions, multiple choice.  An exam proctor is required.

Exam Proctoring:

CSRM online exams require a proctor.  You need an individual to proctor you while you take the online exam.  All final exams require you to have a proctor who is a disinterested third party to monitor your exam. A disinterested third-party is someone with no direct business or family relationship to you. For example, an agency principal, a supervisor, a subordinate, a friend or family member would NOT qualify as a disinterested third party.  Some examples of a disinterested third party are: a coworker who exclusively works in a training/HR role or a local proctoring facility/testing center. Many libraries and colleges also offer proctoring services.  Your proctor must be present when you launch the exam through the entirety of your attempt. You have three options when choosing a proctor.

  • Option #1: You may use MonitorEdu as a virtual proctoring option. With MonitorEDU, an extra device such as a smartphone or tablet is required. A proctor will observe you remotely on camera while you complete the exam at home or work. No appointment is necessary, and proctors are always available. First, navigate to the MonitorEDU website and pay their $18 proctoring fee. When you are ready to take the exam during the exam window, return to this site and click “connect to the proctor.” 

  • Option #2: You may visit a brick-and-mortar testing location. The quickest way to locate a proctor in your area is to conduct a Google search for “approved proctors near me.” Your search results will yield official testing centers at colleges, universities, libraries, and learning centers. Licensee Insurance Associations (PIA, IIA, etc.) are approved in-person testing locations.

  • Option #3: Someone in a dedicated HR or training department role within your organization may

***Your instructor or onsite coordinator is available to proctor for those who would like to take the online exam on the day of the course.  Please note an exam is required for each CSRM course; if you take two courses in a week, you have the same time frame to complete both online exams.
