The following communications from Prometric are designed to update and educate candidates on appointment availability and enhanced safety plans in test centers.

Reinforcement of Mask-Wearing Policy at Prometric Test Centers

Per continued expert advice regarding the importance of mask wearing to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus and reduce the risk of transmission, Prometric will continue to require everyone who comes to one of our global testing centers to wear an approved face covering for the duration of their time at the location. This includes any staff and test takers, including those who have received the COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals not in compliance with this policy will not be allowed to sit for their scheduled appointment. https://www.prometric.com/covid-19-update/corona-virus-update

Candidate Communications and Service

Prometric encourages candidates to utilize self-service tools for scheduling or rescheduling in-center or remote appointments whenever possible. This helps to ensure the quickest resolution to scheduling issues and keeps Candidate Cares resources available for those candidates who need manual assistance.
