Worksite Testing - top

  • The pro-active role of our contact or liaison at your company (site coordinator) helps to maintain good communication between Mott College staff, the employee/student , and the proctor who is administering exams. Often, the site coordinator also acts as the proctor.
  • Testing is conducted at the workplace following guidelines to insure test integrity. The site coordinator appoints a proctor to administer exams and provides a quiet spot appropriate for this purpose. The proctor receives exams from our office, proctors the exams, and returns them to us in self-addressed, pre-stamped envelopes that we provide.
