What are the invigilation set-up requirements for TC assessments?

THIS IS RELEVANT TO CA2020 (TC, TPS AND TPE ONLY).

Invigilation will be carried out using remote invigilation software. This is accessed via the online learning platform when you start to set up your assessment.

Identification Checks:
During the remote invigilation set-up, you will be required to provide one form of identification (ID).

Accepted forms of identification are:

  • Passport
  • Biometric National identification card
  • Driving licence


The ID must be current and must contain a photograph and signature. Only original documentation will be accepted, photocopies or digital copies of ID will not be accepted.

Room Scan:
All candidates MUST complete a scan of the environment in which they are sitting the assessment as part of the assessment set-up. Failure to complete this scan fully will be reported to the assessment panel and may result in your assessment being invalidated.


The room scan forms an integral part of the academic integrity process and allows ICAS to determine that no breaches of assessment regulations have taken place within the environment (i.e. use of non-permitted materials/devices, sharing of environment with other people etc.). The room scan should follow the below guidelines:

  • The scan should be done slowly and as smoothly as possible – the remote invigilation software and ICAS require sufficient time to validate the scan.
  • For all assessments you must complete a 180 degree scan of your assessment environment including desk area.
  • Complete this scan by panning the webcam or laptop around your room/desk (you do not have to scan under your desk).
  • Be sure to move the webcam or laptop slowly to clearly capture your room and desk area.
  • If you cannot move your camera (it’s built into your PC) please use a mirror to conduct the scan.

If the room scan is too quick or not clear enough the first-time round, then the remote invigilation software may ask you to complete it again.  Please follow all instructions given to you regarding the room scan.


Following the room scan, your computer and camera must remain in the room throughout your assessment.
