Yes, you can take any Humber real estate exam from home. Meazure Learning provides remote proctoring for every Humber salesperson and broker exam, and most students choose this option over travelling to an in-person testing centre.
The technical requirements are: a working webcam, a microphone (built-in laptop mics are usually fine), a stable internet connection (1 Mbps upload minimum), Chrome or Firefox browser, and a clear, quiet, private space. The proctor will ask you to scan your room with the webcam before the exam begins.
Your testing space must be free of: other people, second monitors, phones, smartwatches, smart speakers, paper notes, books, or anything else not explicitly approved. The proctor watches throughout the exam via webcam and can pause or void the exam if rules are violated.
Approved items: a basic four-function or financial calculator (for Courses 3 and 4), a single blank piece of scratch paper that the proctor inspects before and after the exam, and a clear water bottle without a label.
Online exams are identical in content, format, time limit, and pass mark to in-person exams. The advantage of taking from home is convenience; the disadvantage is technical risk (camera glitch, internet drop). Have backup plans for both — a wired internet connection helps, and a phone hotspot as a fallback for internet outages.
