• All NFI exams are now taken online using our remote proctoring service.

• The computer needs a webcam and microphone. 
• They will have received an email with their user name and password.
• You no longer need to provide a proctor. 

• The person taking the exam will find out if they passed or not the minute they hit “Submit”.  We will send a complete score report once we get the results.
