The exam content is the property of Natural Resources Canada and must remain secure at all times. The exam is administered in proctored test centres under strict protocols in order to ensure that security and confidentiality are maintained. Proctors are required to sign a statement of understanding as are all candidates taking the exam. The Candidate Statement of Understanding (Appendix B: Candidate Statement of Understanding) outlines the expectations surrounding the exam in terms of ensuring security of exam content and confidentiality of exam results.
