Mobile and classroom testing

This section provides the information you need to deliver exams at a mobile site or in a classroom setting.

Overview

Pearson VUE Authorized Centers have the flexibility of offering exams at sites other than a fixed testing center:

Mobile testing—Mobile testing allows Pearson VUE Authorized Centers to take the testing site to the candidate rather than have the candidate come to the testing site. For example, a mobile site can be used to provide testing at a conference or at a client’s location. As with fixed testing sites, mobile testing sites can allow pre-registration, immediate registration (walk-ins) and retakes (depending on exam sponsor policies).

To set up a mobile site, you must contact Channel Sales at Pearson VUE. See the Technical requirements for laptops in mobile test centers document in the Resources Support materials application for minimum system requirements. Pearson VUE will create a new site in the system that is separate from your fixed testing sites. The mobile site will have its own Site ID and name, and registration and scheduling will not be available through the Candidate website or the Call Center (unless you request otherwise).

Classroom testing—Classroom testing is used to allow candidates to test immediately after taking a class. For example, your center might offer a training class at your site over several days and then have candidates take an exam on the last day of the class. Using classroom testing, you can allow candidates to take the exam right in the room used for the class. This allows you to offer enhanced service to candidates and allows you to efficiently use workstation resources.

To set up a classroom site, all you need to do is add the necessary workstations through Site Manager. Depending on the location of your administration workstation, you may also need to install Pearson VUE Workstation Installer on another workstation so that Admissions Manager is available for admitting candidates.

 

The following sections outline the requirements for implementing mobile or classroom testing. Please read this information carefully to help ensure your site complies with the contractual requirements concerning the site environment, professionalism of site personnel, testing site procedures and security of exams in a mobile or classroom environment.
