Online Exams

LIA exams are facilitated online using remote invigilation. This means that you can complete your exam safely and securely at home or in your office.

What do I need to take my test?

  • Computer/laptop with microphone (a working microphone is required so we can pick up on sound in your room on the day off the exam). Please bear in mind that work laptops and PCs can have additional security and firewall settings that may block the use of the online exam system. For this reason we would encourage you to use a personal laptop/PC. Tablets are not suitable.
