Steps for Online Proctoring

After you complete all the course materials, meet the minimum time requirement, and pass the practice exam(s), there's a final course exam. Our final course exams are proctored via zoom by one of Shavon School of Real Estate administrators.

We offer our students online proctoring, which means you are able to take your final course exam at your convenience from the comfort of your home while being monitored by a remote proctor through video and screen sharing capabilities at no additional cost.
