Activities to be carried out before the start of the Remote Exam

  2. The Exam Participant shall receive a link to the website where the verification test can be carried out together with the e-mail confirming registration for the Remote Exam.
  3. In order to take the Remote Exam, the Participant must obtain verification of the device and Internet connection used by the Participant to take the Remote Exam. The Participant shall be required to take the verification test no later than 48 hours before the start date of the Remote Exam. 
  4. The Exam Participant shall be notified of the result of the verification test each time. If the verification test result is positive, the Exam Participant should take the Remote Exam using the same device and Internet connection (on which the test result was positive) and should not make any changes to their configuration during the period from the start of the verification test until the end of the Exam.
  5. If the verification test is completed with a negative result, it shall mean that the Participant’s device or the software installed on it or the Internet connection does not meet the requirements referred to in Appendix 2. In this case, the Exam Participant shall be entitled to take another verification test (taking into account the time limit specified in par. 3), e.g. using a different device or Internet connection. In case of a positive result of the verification test, the Exam Participant should take the Remote Exam using the same device and Internet connection (on which he/she obtained a positive result of the test) and should not make any changes to their configuration during the period from the start of the verification test until the end of the Exam.

As a result of terminating the Agreement for participation in the Exam the SJSI shall refund the Exam Participant the Exam price paid by the Exam Participant. The price shall be refunded at the choice of the Exam Participant by transfer to a bank account or by issuing a Voucher (the value of which shall correspond to the paid Exam price). The obtained Voucher can be used by the Exam Participant to pay the price for participation in another Exam, e.g. an onsite Exam.
  7. Should the Exam Participant fail to complete the verification test within the timeframe specified in par. 3, the Agreement for participation in the Remote Exam shall not be enforceable through the fault of the Exam Participant, which shall be equivalent to failing to appear for the Remote Exam and consequently receiving a negative score for the Remote Exam. If the Exam Participant has failed the verification test, he/she shall be entitled to apply to the Organiser in accordance with the procedure set out in Appendix 3 in order to set a new date for the Remote Exam.
  8. If the Exam Participant has any questions or concerns, he/she should contact the SJSI office at the email address provided: egzaminy@sjsi.org.

  10. In the case of the Remote Exam, the SJSI shall provide each Exam Participant with a link to open the Exam application (the application shall open in a web browser).
