## **0. Essential points to bear in mind before and during taking an online test**

### Proof of identify

**Don't forget to take a photo of your proof of identity during the verification phase - it's imperative.**  
The tool will inevitably ask you to do this, so be extremely vigilant and attentive. To be clear and precise, during the verification phase (after the mic test) when a woman shows a card, that's when you should take a photo of your proof of identity, not your face (the photo of your face is taken a little later).


:::warning
It is very important to know that any exam in which there is no photo of your proof of identity is automatically and by default considered invalid (even if you have obtained a sufficient mark to obtain the certificate). This information is also specified on the tool.

:::

This is an online examination with identity verification. Without this photo of your proof of identity, it is not possible to confirm your identity, and therefore to issue you with the certificate. **Be very careful and take your time during the verification phase.**

### Headphones and earphones not allowed

By default, headphones and earphones are not allowed during the exam (you must not have them with you when you take and complete the exam paper), unless specified by the teaching staff on the course and in the exam instructions.

### Email address without alias

Bear in mind that **email addresses containing aliases are not accepted by the application** **(ProctorExam)** when you connect to it at the time of your exam.

### Certificate access

**The certificate will not be sent to you by email**. When it is available, the course team will let you know.

The certificate can be available on your learner dashboard.

### Validation of your exam


:::warning
If you fail to comply with the examination regulations, the conditions of use or the examination instructions, your certificate may be withdrawn and/or refused (even if you have obtained a mark sufficient to obtain the certificate) by decision of the examination board. 

:::

The examination board is made up of the members of the course's teaching team who will have inspected your examination session. This decision will be sent after your examination session has been checked.

### Validate your answers

Remember to click on the "**final check**" button to definitively validate your answers during your examination session. The "save" button does not count. Once your answers have been definitively validated, and before you leave, check that the platform has taken them into account (green ticks appear in the answers, etc.).


:::info
If you have not validated your answers during your exam (except in special cases), you are directly responsible for this and no refunds or claims will be made. FUN will not necessarily intervene, as this is your responsibility.

:::

*Typical example: you have pressed the wrong button to validate your answers when it was explicitly indicated in the instructions which button you had to click to proceed with the final validation of your answers.*

### Allowed materials

**By default, for an online exam,** unless otherwise specified by the course team, **you are not authorised to**:


1. use the Internet
2. use external applications
3. use a manual, book, document, etc.
4. use a calculator
5. use a pen, draft paper and paper
6. save the exam page as a PDF file

**You will find below the process for registering and sitting an exam to obtain a certificate.**

## 1. Payment on the FUN platform

When you register for a course offering a certificate, you can choose to follow the simple path (blue button *"Follow this course"*, or the path offering the possibility of taking the certificate *"Register for certification"*, with the price indicated in euros).

You don't have to decide straight away. You can switch to the certification path at a later date. This option will appear on your dashboard as soon as the course becomes certifiable.

## 2. Testing the compatibility of your equipment

**This stage is compulsory**. It determines whether or not your event will run smoothly and whether or not you will be reimbursed for technical reasons. All requests must be accompanied by the supporting documents mentioned in the article.


:::success
The procedure is explained in the article [Certifying exam: checking your computer's configuration](/doc/certification-exam-verifying-your-computer-configuration-5xjzis7G84).

:::

If you have a question or doubt, you can consult the [Certificate section](/doc/paid-certificate-S9F9fALKSV) and contact the support department if you can't find your answer.
