A proctor is a person who supervises the taking of an examination to assure that all rules are followed. CWR candidates who choose the proctored hard-copy format must submit the name and contact information of the individual they would like to serve as proctor for approval. Potential proctors must not be a supervisor, co-worker, related to the candidate, live at the same address as the candidate, or have a vested interest in the candidate’s results (e.g., a center rehabilitation manager).
A hard-copy testing packet is sent directly to a candidate-identified and staff-approved proctor. The packet includes a paper copy of the exam, instructions for administering the exam and a self-addressed, stamped enveloped with which to return the exam for grading. Proctors are not provided with an answer key.

Candidates who do not pass will receive information on re-testing opportunities via email (or mail if an email address has not been provided).
Acceptable proctors include, but are not limited to:
- Secondary level or higher public or private school teachers and/or administrators
