For online proctored exams, computer systems must meet the criteria outlined on the Kryterion Online Proctoring Support page. Before scheduling your exam, we encourage you to visit this page to test equipment compatibility, which includes checks for webcam, microphone, and internet speed. Individuals planning to take the certification examination online can prepare by taking the following steps:

1. Review the webcam requirements before purchasing an external webcam or to verify your current external webcam meets the requirements.
2. Visit Online Testing Requirementst to check equipment compatibility for webcam, microphone, and internet speed
3. Test browser functionality of the exam Calculator provided onscreen during the exam

HUDHousingCounselors.hud.gov cannot provide a webcam. You will not need a webcam if you choose to take the Certification Exam via in-person proctoring at a testing location.
