    Helpful Tips:

    #1 Are you new? Need some guidelines on getting a facility? Your testing facility is very important! Look for a place where students can test without noise and interruption in a safe and welcoming environment. 

    #2 Check your box when it arrives. Are the tests correct? We do quality assurance at the warehouse but we are human and can make mistakes. There is a certain amount of time needed for shipping. We want to make sure the student have what they need.

    How much time does it take to serve as a Test Coordinator?

    The time commitment of a Test Coordinator depends on how difficult it is to secure the facility and proctors in your area, and how much time you would like to spend on promotions and advertising. Test Coordinator training takes about an hour (more if you take advantage of additional resources), and is scheduled at your convenience. Coordinators are on site throughout testing, and spend time organizing testing materials beforehand as well as compiling materials after testing for submission back to HTS.
