What to expect on exam day
We follow Certiport's exam policies for every exam, so that every certificate earned here can be trusted.
- Phones, smart watches, paper, pens and bags are stored outside the testing room.
- A proctor supervises every exam in person. Proctors can help with the exam software, but not with exam content.
- You may take a break if you ask, but the exam clock keeps running.
- Candidates under 18 need Certiport's parental consent form, signed by a parent or guardian, before registering.
- If you fail, Certiport's retake rules apply: for MOS and IC3, wait 24 hours before a second attempt and 48 hours before each attempt after that.
- Exam vouchers cannot be refunded or extended, so book once you are ready.
Complaints about an exam
If you are unhappy with how your exam was run, or with a decision we made on the day, please tell us. We will look into it fairly and tell you what we found.
- Email info@beplugged.co.za with the subject "Exam complaint" within 10 working days of your exam. Give your name, Certiport username, the exam and its date, what happened and what you would like us to do. You may also complain in person or by phone.
- We acknowledge your complaint within 2 working days.
- We review it within 10 working days and reply in writing with what we found and what we will do. If we need longer, we tell you why and give a new date.
A complaint cannot cover ordinary distractions in a testing room, such as other candidates typing or people entering and leaving, and we cannot see or change exam questions or scores; to challenge a question, use Certiport's grievance policy. If you are still not satisfied, you may contact Certiport Customer Support at customerservices@certiport.com.
Certification exams: questions we are asked
Who issues the certificate?
Certiport issues it on behalf of the company that owns the certification, such as Microsoft for Microsoft Office Specialist. Beplugged Tech delivers the exam; we never issue a vendor certification ourselves.
Can I prepare for the exam with you?
Yes. Our Excel and Microsoft 365 courses prepare you for the Microsoft Office Specialist exams, and you can write the exam with us at the end of the course. Preparation is optional: you may book only the exam.
Can a company book exams for its staff?
Yes. We schedule a group session at our testing room, and each employee writes under supervision with their own Certiport account.
Do I need a disability accommodation?
Apply to Certiport through its accommodation of disabilities process before booking, and tell us when you book once it is approved.
Can I write the exam from home?
Our exams are written in person at our testing room in Thohoyandou.
