Online proctoring allows for remote monitoring of test-takers during an online exam, which can provide several benefits. These include the ability to:

- Deter cheating by using various security measures, such as monitoring the test-taker's computer screen and audio, as well as using facial detection technology.
- Increase access to educational and certification opportunities by eliminating the need to be physically present at a specific location to take an exam.
- Save time and resources by eliminating the need to travel to a physical testing location.
- Allow for more frequent testing, as exams can be taken at the test-taker's convenience.
- Provide more efficient and accurate results by using automated systems to grade exams.
