Candidates will be seated within 30 days of their request, but as early as the next day. The testing environment is professional, secure, and standardized. Private, modular testing booths provide plenty of work space and a distraction-free testing atmosphere. Computer testing sites are handicapped-accessible and conform to ADA requirements. Prior computer experience is not necessary.
Candidates receive instructions and practice at their workstations prior to the licensure exam.
Such uniformity of standards greatly speeds the certification of qualified professionals, quickly expanding the services available to the consumer. As a simplified example, if 10 children took the exam, the top 9 would pass in spite of their obvious incompetence. Criterion referenced passing scores are based on minimum criteria of safe performance. This assures that only competent candidates pass the exam.
