New Testing Center Opens in Georgia for Public Safety Job Seekers

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Feb. 10, 2016 - PRLog -- National Testing Network (NTN), the leader in outsourced testing for public safety departments, announces a new testing location in Georgia, in partnership with Augusta University, located at 2500 Walton Way, within Galloway Hall, in Augusta.

This new testing location will offer online computer-based employment testing for entry-level firefighters, law enforcement officers, corrections officers, and emergency communications applicants applying for city, county, and state public safety agencies.

NTN’s state-of-the-art online testing delivers examinations with video simulations that depict scenarios candidates would actually encounter in the position they are applying for. After viewing scenarios, applicants are asked how they would respond in a particular situation. This video simulation testing has been proven to be more effective than traditional paper and pencil testing in helping public safety departments find applicants who are the best fit for the job.

With online testing, candidates see their score results immediately after completing the test, and public safety departments receive instantaneous score results once exams are completed. NTN provides public safety agencies with the most current applicant pool information and essential test score data so departments can quickly make good hiring decisions.

This testing site is the first NTN location established in Gerogia. “We are pleased to bring the continuous testing model provided by National Testing Network to the state of Georgia,” said National Testing Network President, Carl Swander, Ph.D. “NTN has already witnessed positive outcomes in 27 other states where we’ve implemented our candidate-focused testing model. Public safety departments and candidates are reporting higher levels of satisfaction after switching to NTN for their testing needs.”

When asked about the new partnership, testing center manager Brian Waller said, “We are excited here at Augusta University to introduce NTN to our selection of testing offered on campus. We look forward to providing this service to our local community and the surrounding areas.”

NTN is the sister company of Ergometrics & Applied Personnel Research, Inc., a human resource management firm with 35 years of expertise in testing public service professions.
