The 5 Steps to Become a Test Center

Step 1: Apply

Read the technical and physical environments requirements listed above, then apply online. Please make sure to fill out the application for "IT training, Business and Corporate Organizations."

Please identify yourself as a Certiport Solution Provider, and note your specific interest in E^Pro exam delivery. If you are just signing up yourself as a single testing center, proceed as directed in the application process.  If you are representing multiple CATCs, or want to recruit your affiliate CATCs, make your Pearson VUE Testing Center representative aware of this goal on your application.

Step 2: Sign

Pearson VUE will evaluate the application, then send a contract and other forms to be signed.

Step 3: Approval

Once approved, Pearson VUE will send a pre-activation kit (containing materials for your test center), and your Pearson VUE Site ID which enables access to the online Policies & Procedure Guide. You will need to provide proof that you've procured the Enhanced Security Protocol (ESP) kit.

Step 4: Install

Get the testing software running with help from the Pearson VUE support services team.

Step 5: Train

The Test Administrator must pass an open-book certification test once they have reviewed the Policies & Procedure Guide online. Please use your Pearson VUE Site ID to log in and locate the certification.
