What are My Options for Taking Exams?
The IDFPR requires administered exams, exams taken in front of a representative of the school or approved proctor, so proper procedures are followed and to verify your identity. You have different options depending on the type of courses you sign up for. If you take classroom courses only you will take your exam immediately following each class. If you do a combination of classroom and home study or online, you can prepare yourself for the home study or online exam before you come to class and after the class take all your exams. If you do home study or online courses only you have 4 options: with a group of 5 or more in office testing, set up a proctored exam(s), come to our office by appointment, or come to any of our regularly scheduled classes, at any location, and take your exams when we give that class their exam.
What is a Proctored Exam?
Having your exams administered by an approved person that is not employed or associated with SURE WIN INC. For example, set up a person in your office to be the proctor, when ready they will get the materials necessary to conduct the exams, so you can test at your convenience. For more information on how to set up a proctor click "Proctor"
What if I Fail an Exam?
If you fail an exam the IDFPR allows for 1 retake within 30 days at no charge. If you fail an exam a second time you will be required to re-purchase the course to complete your continuing education.
What Happens When I Pass My Exams?
Upon passing your exam(s), your successful completion will be reported to the IDFPR and you will receive Certificates of Completion.
Do I Need Certificates to Renew My License?
NO. Certificates of Completion are for your records only. You DO NOT send them in with your renewal. If you have completed all your required continuing education you can send in your renewal immediately, BEFORE you receive your Certificates of Completion.
