Once you have completed your course, EducUp will issue a certificate of completion which you may download and print from your online EducUp account.

Your exam may be taken at a physical Pearson Vue examination center or via a remote online proctored exam.

The primary identification must be government-issued and photo-bearing with a signature, and the secondary identification must contain a valid signature. The name on the identification must exactly match the name on the registration. Identification must be in English (driver's license, passport, military I.D., etc.) and must contain your photograph. You must also bring with you your certificate of completion. You will not be able to take your exam if these requirements are not met.
Candidates taking a remote proctored examination will be monitored by a Pearson VUE certified proctor via webcam and microphone throughout the test to ensure the integrity and security of the exam experience.
Candidates who pass all parts of the examination will receive a score report that reads "pass;" no numeric score will be reported. The score report will also include information on how to apply for your license. If testing at a Pearson VUE testing site, the score report will be provided at the test center. If testing online, candidates will need to log into their Pearson VUE account to obtain their score report.
Step 4: Apply for your license.
