How AI Proctoring Protects Certification Integrity

Written by Chaitanya | May 20, '2025

The Threat Is Real: Certification Fraud Is on the Rise

In the era of remote learning and digital certifications, the biggest threat to trust isn’t who fails an assessment it’s who passes unfairly.

From impersonation and screen-sharing to AI teleprompters and deepfake tools, today’s fraudsters are more sophisticated than ever. For organizations running apprenticeship programs, trade certifications, or government-funded skills initiatives, this creates a serious compliance and reputational risk.

And unlike traditional cheating, this fraud happens undetected unless your system is built to catch it.

What’s at Stake?

  • A false certificate issued to an unqualified candidate can endanger workplace safety.
  • A training provider may lose accreditation or face funding audits if fraud is detected.
  • A government program may fail to meet compliance standards—undermining the entire national skill-building effort.

The risk isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s happening right now across sectors and regions.

The Old Way Doesn’t Work Anymore

Traditional methods like center-based testing, manual invigilation, or basic webcam recordings can’t scale and can’t catch modern threats like:

  • Impersonation through fake IDs or stand-ins
  • Screen sharing or second screens during assessments
  • AI tools reading out answers via hidden earphones
  • Deepfake-based face overlays to spoof identity

These tactics aren’t rare they’re on YouTube tutorials, and they’re being used across the globe in high-stakes exams.

Talview’s AI-Powered Proctoring: Built for Modern Certification Integrity

At Talview, we’ve engineered proctoring that thinks like a security analyst, not a webcam.

Multi-Factor Identity Verification

Before the exam even begins, we confirm who’s taking the test using:

  • Facial recognition match with government-issued IDs
  • Liveness detection (to prevent static photo or deepfake use)
  • Behavioural analytics to detect anomalies

Real-Time AI Monitoring

Our AI monitors every test session and flags:

  • Multiple faces in frame
  • Suspicious head or eye movements
  • Unauthorized screen activity or browser use
  • Use of second devices or background voices

Human proctors can be looped in for review, or the process can be fully automated based on organizational preferences.

Post-Test Audits & Audit Trails

Every session creates an audit-ready log with:

  • Timestamped flags
  • Video evidence
  • Final proctoring score and confidence level

This protects your organization if results are ever challenged and ensures regulatory defensibility.

Use Case:

Government & Apprenticeship Programs

  • In the U.S., apprenticeship and workforce development boards are using Talview to comply with WIOA standards, without requiring candidates to travel long distances.
  • In India, Skill Development Councils are leveraging AI proctoring to ensure scalable certification across thousands of rural learners.
  • In the EU, organizations following EQF standards are using Talview to ensure fairness and prevent duplicate or fraudulent testing attempts.
