AWS Exam Scheduling Options
Typically, you have two alternatives when registering for a AWS Exam:
1. Online Proctoring
Online proctoring enables you to take your AWS exam from the convenience of your own home or business. This option is ideal for people looking for flexibility and convenience. Online proctoring is provided for all AWS Certification examinations through two test delivery providers: Pearson VUE and PSI. Pearson VUE and PSI both provide English-language online proctoring. Pearson VUE also offers online proctoring in Japanese, and PSI supports online proctoring in Mandarin.
Online proctoring connects you to a real proctor who will monitor your exam session. The proctor will ensure that the examination environment complies with AWS security standards and is tamper-free. The proctor will assist you in resolving any technical issues that may arise during the exam.
While exam appointments are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it is recommended that you plan your exam in advance to increase your chances of finding a time that works for you (in your time zone).
While online proctoring is regarded the best option for the majority of test takers, applicants in mainland China, Japan, Slovenia, and South Korea do not currently have access to it.
2. Testing Centers
Alternatively, you can take the exam at a physical testing center. This option is appropriate for persons who need technical equipment for an exam (such as a computer that meets system and security criteria). Of course, because you are taking the exam at an authorized physical testing site, you must account for travel time and expenses. To find a Pearson VUE or PSI testing location near you, search availability by ZIP code.
Keep in mind that availability may be limited depending on your location. Testing centers may still be closed due to local health guidance. Therefore, check the availability of testing centers before you start the booking process.
