This guide is for a VE who has been granted team lead (CVE) privileges and needs to get a team and their first session set up in ExamTools.
Prerequisites
- A completed VE account setup (account, VEC accreditation, and signature)
- Team lead privileges granted by your VEC — see Become a team lead
Step 1: Create your team
A team is the organizational unit in ExamTools. All sessions you run will be associated with your team.
Step 2: Create your first session
Fill in the date, location (or video platform for remote sessions), and the license elements you will be offering.
Step 3: Add VEs to the session
From within the session, add the VEs who will proctor on exam day. You need at least three VEs present to administer exams (FCC minimum).
Verify you’re ready
Before your exam day, confirm that:
- Your team appears in Team Accounts in the left navigation
- Your session appears in your session list with the correct date and details
- At least three VEs are added to your session (the FCC minimum for administering exams)
