Information About Nationally Proctored Assessments
Codes & Standards Assessments has implemented our national proctoring services. CSA signed a partnership with a large proctoring agency having over 230 locations across the United States. In addition to proctoring CSA assessments, this firm specializes in computer based assessments for College based entrance exams, and several nationally recognized certification agencies.
In addition to maintaining our customized assessments for specific jurisdictions, we are implementing standardized tests that can be administered nationally. These assessments will satisfy requirements for qualifications of contractors as outlined by minimum codes. CSA has been administering tests since 2002. This new service allows us to administer throughout the US without needing participating fire marshals to proctor the test.
