TEST OUTS

Test-Outs Schedule

Description:

Access to the regional, state, and national law enforcement systems requires the terminal operator's proficiency to be tested and re-affirmed every two (2) years. This re-affirmation is accomplished through the test-out session.

The "Test-Out" is a combination of written questions and practical exercises and can be taken in lieu of attending classes. Test-outs are used to verify an operator has retained a certain level of proficiency so they can be re-certified.

Individuals should sign up for the test-out session that best fits their schedule. Each session will be "open enrollment," meaning the certification level and topics to be tested will be determined by the student�not the schedule. Therefore individuals with different certification levels can attend the same test-out session. The tests given will depend upon the level of re-certification being sought. An operator may leave when the tests are complete. The test-out time is a maximum of 3 hours for a Level 2 certification. Other certifications will be less than 3 hours.

A minimum grade of 70% is required to pass or become re-certified. A lower score will result in termination of access until such time as the appropriate classes have be taken.

The Training Unit can be contacted at (314) 535-1950 to discuss special needs test-out scheduling.
