AWS Certification Online Exam on Mac
AWS certifications (Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect, Developer, etc.) are delivered through Pearson VUE OnVUE or PSI Bridge for the home variant on Mac. AWS gives candidates a choice between providers.
AWS certification scheduling lets you pick Pearson VUE or PSI as the delivery channel. PSI Bridge is PSI's home-delivery client (a Chromium fork); OnVUE is Pearson's native Mac app. Both use macOS' standard capture stack and both honor window privacy. The overlay is invisible to either. The home-delivery experience is similar: pre-exam check, live proctor, continuous monitoring. AWS' candidate agreement forbids external resources; if you are caught, your certifications can be revoked and you can be banned from future AWS exams.
Key points
