Remote Exam Setup
Your Roadmap to ECBA Certification
The ECBA exam is online and remote proctored. It’s managed by IIBA’s exam delivery partner, PSI. You’re expected to know the remote exam requirements and prepare ahead of time to meet them. Please review the following to understand the rules and procedures for taking the exam with online remote proctoring:

- Your first name and last name must match exactly in three places: your ID, IIBA profile name, and PSI name. There can be no differences. If your name doesn’t match your ID, you must notify IIBA at certification@iiba.org. Only IIBA can make this update. All updates must be done at least one week before your scheduled exam otherwise you won’t be able to take it.

Important!
⚠ If you don’t meet the requirements on your exam day, you won’t be able to take the exam and will forfeit your exam fee.
⚠ Your IIBA profile name and PSI name MUST match the ID you will use for your exam. Make sure these match at least ONE WEEK BEFORE you schedule your exam.
⚠ Passing the compatibility check doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t experience issues during your exam. The compatibility check doesn’t verify firewall and VPN settings. In areas where governments can block access to cross-border websites and meter internet traffic, you may experience additional restrictions that can’t be captured by the compatibility check.
