New: Second Camera During Exams

ISTQB has introduced a new requirement: All ISTQB exam takers must use their mobile device as a second camera during remotely proctored (online) exams. This does not affect exams taken in testing centers.

We will implement this new rule in the last week of May. ISTQB requires this worldwide. We will post information on the exam instructions page later this month with the details so you can be ready for this new ISTQB worldwide requirement.
