Testing Assessment Center


The Bill Priest Institute Testing Center offers professional testing services for the community on-site and at approved off-site locations. For a nominal fee, our professional testing staff administers monitors and mails exams to appropriate scoring facilities for individuals, groups or companies. Testing staff follow strict national and state guidelines for testing, while maintaining a professional, relaxed testing environment.

The Testing Center offerings complement the other programs and services provided by the Bill Priest Institute, many of which require assessment of readiness or entry-level ability for training programs.

Funding agency guidelines also often require a measure of baseline performance as a means of determining student progress. The Testing Center employs a variety of tools to access this information.
