Remote Proctoring

AvantProctor Test Monitoring

Avant hires, certifies, and manages all of its own proctors.  This allows us to maintain a higher standard of quality assurance, security, and flexibility.

Why Remote Proctoring?

Safeguarding the integrity of our tests assures the scores are a true representation of test takers’ actual language proficiency.  All of Avant’s proficiency assessments are required to be proctored by a representative authorized by the organization sponsoring the test.

Remote proctoring allows students, teachers, and business professionals to test securely without traveling to a classroom or testing center.

Test takers ages 13 through adult can take Avant STAMP 4S, STAMP WS, PLACE, and Spanish Heritage Language tests while being remotely monitored by a human proctor to ensure test integrity.
