Flexibility to US Service members - Pearson VUE will provide a global U.S Federal and military on base test canter network in the marketplace, thereby helping the US service and the government to test where assist.

It is important to review the following steps to determine whether online proctored is appropriate for you.

Online proctored exams have specific technical, system, environment, and testing protocol requirements which must be met to successfully take an exam.
