The official online exams are conducted by the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML) and can be taken in a private room in your residence or a private space where you are alone in the room.
You apply and pay for the exam with ICML and then will be directed to the online testing platform to establish a customer profile and confirm a time/date for the exam session. At the scheduled time/date, the candidate will log back into the online platform to take the exam, which will be monitored by a live, remote proctor.
