Industry Certifications Approved for the Louisiana IBC State Focus List
Industry-based certifications are a required performance measure of the Louisiana Perkins V State Plan for the federal Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act.
Certifications on Louisiana’s IBC State Focus List and STEM Capstone Credential List are tangible evidence that an individual has successfully demonstrated skill competencies in a specific set of work-related tasks, a single occupational area, or a cluster of related occupational areas as recognized by a specific industry. It has been suggested that IBCs are an individual's passport into the new economy.

Using a Lockdown Browser for Louisiana Certification Testing
To comply with Louisiana state requirements, iCEV supports a lockdown browser for secure certification testing. For best results, schools should have their IT department install the required browser extension on all district computers before testing begins.
------
Student Instructions
Note that iCEV has partnered with a third-party called Smowl to assist with the lockdown functionality.
Step 1: Confirm Device Setup
- Ensure you are using a computer with only one monitor.
- Verify that the Smowl browser extension is already installed (IT should handle this).
- Confirm you can share your entire screen.
- Make sure the Smowl website is accessible (IT should whitelist it if needed).
Step 2: Register with Smowl
- When prompted on the iCEV platform, click Register.
- Accept the privacy policy and complete registration.
- Return to iCEV after registration.
Step 3: Enable Screen Sharing
- When prompted, select Entire Screen (not just a tab or window).
- Confirm the Smowl widget shows no errors before proceeding.
------
Exam Workflow
1. Complete all course prerequisites to unlock the certification exam.
2. After Smowl setup, click Check In.
3. Wait for the proctor to approve your exam start.
4. The browser will switch to full-screen mode when the exam begins.
5. Avoid violations:
- Do not leave the exam window.
- Do not use Alt+Tab or similar shortcuts.
- Do not take screenshots or disconnect screen sharing.
- Three violations = expulsion from the exam.
------
Proctor Instructions
- Use the Lockdown Monitoring button to view Smowl’s incident reports.
- If a student is expelled:
- Click Reset Lockdown Expulsion to allow a retake.
- Provide a new certification voucher.
- Download incident reports for record-keeping if needed.
------
Troubleshooting
- Smowl widget errors? Verify screen sharing and extension installation.
- Multiple monitors? Disconnect all but one.
- Expelled? Contact proctor for reset and prepare for a new attempt.
- Chromebook issues? Test compatibility; use alternative devices if needed.
- Blocked Smowl site? Ask IT to whitelist the following domains:
- smowl.net
- smowltech.com
- cdn.smowl.net (extension assets)
- api.smowl.net (monitoring and incident reporting)
- Allow HTTPS traffic for these domains.
You can also download the instructions.
⚠️ NOTE: Because of the lockdown browser requirement, virtual proctoring is not an option for Louisiana customers.
