Hello,

i will do the RHCE8 remote exam from Germany. . Can i switch to an "de_DE" keymap ? in the os on which run the exam ?  My laptop has a "German (QWERTZ) keyboard".  It would therefore be more pleasant if you could set it up on the host.

Hello @Dirk_of,
you can select German keyboad, however on my external keyboard the Caret key "^" didn't work.

hello Hartmut,

this is my first remote exam. I had ordered the voucher and i am waiting for the message that i can shedule an exam date.

Is it possible to download the iso image before to check wether my equipment meets the requirements and if not to shedule an kiosk exam in a testcenter ?

Hi @DirkSeifert ,

Thanks for reporting this. @Hartmut  also informed us of this behavior on DE_German Keyboards. I have passed this to the devs to take a look.

Hi,

I cannot Schedule my exam.
There are not available days.

What do I need to do to schedule?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi @Damian2 ,

The exams can be scheduled within the scheduler application. Incase you do not see your exams or have trouble reserving a slot, please contact the support team.
It has been hard to find suitable exam slots due to the high demand for exams lately. Please look for slots outside of your business hours or a few weeks ahead, where the bookings may be lesser.

Hi! Is it possible to use my phone as an external camera? I don't have a webcam. Thanks in advance.

Hi @kiff ,

It has to be a wired external camera. Devices like laptops, notebooks, mobile phones, IP Cams, or any smart devices should not be used as a substitute.
