This is achieved via managed, secure and invigilated computer-based testing locations. In addition, CITB has a portfolio of eLearning courses that require an end of course test. This is achieved via managed computer-based tests via online proctor or in a secure and invigilated facility. CITB require managed and secure facilities (test centres) to enable candidates to attend and undertake these tests, with the capability for online proctoring, and for a computer-based testing platform to be made available for delivery by CITB approved independent Internet Test Centres.
