High Stakes Testing Center

The “High Stakes” Testing Center offers certification and licensure testing for many professions.

Pearson Vue® Authorized Testing Center

Pierpont Community & Technical College is an authorized Pearson VUE® Testing Center. The college’s Pearson VUE® Testing Center is housed at the Advanced Technology Center. The Pearson VUE advanced computer-based testing system administers exams for the NREMT as well as leading IT certification programs such as Cisco Systems®, CompTIA, and others through a global network of quality test centers.

College Board® (CLEP™)

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) allows students to demonstrate that they have acquired college-level mastery of course content in 34 different subject areas. Students who successfully complete a CLEP exam can: Enrich their degree programs with higher-level courses in the same discipline, expand their horizons by taking a wider array of electives and avoid the need to repeat material that they already know.

For students who are able to pursue their degrees only part-time, or who are struggling to meet the rising cost of higher education, CLEP offers an educationally sound, responsible way to shorten the path to a college degree. This benefit makes earning a degree more feasible - making it more likely those part-time or financially strapped students will continue working toward a degree. These exams may be scheduled through the Advanced Technology Center.
