National Testing Network Launches Two New Public Safety Applicant Testing Centers in Miami

MIAMI - April 13, 2015 - PRLog -- National Testing Network (NTN), the leader in outsourced testing for public safety departments announces two new Florida testing locations in the Miami area, in partnership with the Florida International University.  One location will be at the Modesto Maidique Campus, at 1200 SW 8th Street in Miami; and the other at the Biscayne Bay Campus, located at 300 NE 151st Street in North Miami.

These new locations will both offer entry-level testing for firefighter, law enforcement, corrections officer and emergency communications officer applicants applying for city, county and state public safety agencies.

The locations in Miami will compliment NTN’s three other Florida test centers located in St. Petersburg, Ocala and Longwood.   By expanding testing centers to Southeast Florida, NTN is providing employment testing services that are more convenient for local job seekers, and allows local public safety departments an opportunity to greatly reduce their applicant screening costs.

NTN offers public safety departments an easy way to enhance their application process through a centralized, outsourced testing model that offers real-time applicant score reports, making applicant’s test scores readily available to employers who are looking to hire new employees.  This allows NTN to provide its clients with the most current applicant information, and the necessary test score data to enable public service departments to quickly make good hiring decisions.

NTN is enabling candidates across the nation to have access to multiple times and dates to take their entry-level placement exams for public safety job openings.  By breaking down the testing barriers, and giving candidates an opportunity to test in a central location, at a convenient time for them, NTN is making the testing process candidate centric.

“NTN consistently delivers more diversity, higher quality, and reduced costs for both candidates and departments.  The continuous testing model provided by National Testing Network is becoming a key diversity tool for departments looking to increase diversity in their workforce,” said National Testing Network President, Carl Swander, Ph.D.

NTN is the sister company of Ergometrics & Applied Personnel Research, Inc, an organization that has 34 years of expertise in testing public service professions, and specializes in video simulated testing that exposes applicants to real experiences they would encounter on the job. The tests are specifically designed to identify applicants with the necessary decision making skills and critical thinking aptitude to perform well in a career in public safety.

“The University Testing Center at Florida International University is pleased to expand its outreach to the community by making available new assessments for public safety departments and their prospective candidates for employment.  The Center will now administer National Testing Network exams at both Modesto Maidique Campus in the south and Biscayne Bay Campus in the north, providing convenient access to individuals throughout all of South Florida,” said Maria Kulick, Test Center Director.
