- PC with Internet Access
- Headphones with Microphone

J-Check must be taken on a PC desktop or laptop computer – not on an Apple/MAC, iPAD, Chromebook, or smartphone. J-Check incorporates iTEP’s Fotosure security software to prevent cheating and visually confirm and monitor test taker’s identity. So, an activated webcam is required.
