Request to be a Supplemental Examiner aka “Proctor”

ACI certifications provided through the CRMCA continue because of the volunteers assisting during each session. These active volunteers are the Supplemental Examiners, or “Proctors”, who administer the individual performance exam stations for various certifications and active Proctors are always needed. CRMCA members who are ACI certified are encouraged to volunteer as available. Please contact CRMCA’s JT Mesite to be included in the Proctor Distribution List and gain access the ACI Supplemental Examiner Training.

Proctor volunteers’ companies are eligible to receive credit towards future certifications. Proctors are approved by the acting Examiner of Record (EOR) and CRMCA has the right to decline individuals as Proctors or the use of Proctor credits.
