Taking exams has never been easier! MECP Installation Technicians and Sales Professionals have two choices for how they will take their MECP exam:
-
Computer-based Exam @ a Thomson-Prometric Testing Center - Exam participants may choose to have their MECP exam delivered at one of over thousand Thomson-Prometric Test Centers nationwide. Over 90% of MECP exam participants choose this method for the convenience and ease of scheduling.
-
Computer-based Exam with an Approved Proctor - MECP exams can be delivered using a pre-approved proctor. The major difference is that this option may not have the availability or convenience of testing at a Thomson-Prometric test site.
