Prometric Testing Center

Prometric is a leading worldwide provider of comprehensive computer-based testing and assessment services. In 2000 Prometric, which was once part of Sylvan Testing Centers, had contracts to deliver over 2400 different tests through a network consisting of over 3500 computer-based testing centers. Persons needing to take certification exams in hundreds of areas including CISCO Networking, A+ Certification, many Microsoft components, and MOUS can now take their certification tests on-line at the Vernon College Century City Center in Wichita Falls. In the past, the closest cities with computer-based testing centers were Dallas, Oklahoma City, or Amarillo.

Currently, there are two testing stations available for use in the library computer lab at the Vernon College Century City Center which is located at 4105 Maplewood in Wichita Falls. Lana Claycamp serves as administrator for the program, and Lori Darnell is assistant administrator. Persons who are interested in computer-based exams should register, pay, and schedule their test on-line at the Prometric web site http://www.2test.com .

In addition to the certification testing, Vernon College will be able to evaluate students' abilities through the Prometric Skills Evaluation Testing (SET) Business Builder. SET enables the College to conduct a thorough evaluation of student's abilities in four key areas including technical knowledge in 42 technology areas covering Microsoft, Novell, and A+, learning style, motivation to learn, and confidence to learn.

Both Vernon College students and persons from the general public are encouraged to use the new Prometric Testing Center. Call Lana Claycamp at 940-696-8752 for additional information. Ms. Claycamp may also be contacted via e-mail at lclaycamp@vernoncollege.edu.
