The sites are chosen with care.

At CASTLE Worldwide, we pride ourselves on the quality of our testing facilities and believe that our attention to detail makes the experience far superior at a CASTLE Worldwide facility.

CASTLE Worldwide offers a variety of testing facility models designed to meet the needs of your program. CASTLE Worldwide has more than 500 testing center locations through various channels that allow us to provide IBT and Paper & Pencil testing in an on-demand or scheduled testing environment. We pride ourselves on the standardization and quality of our testing facilities and believe that our attention to detail and technological advances make the testing experience superior at our facilities.

The procedures we use in the selection of test sites ensure that the sites are secure, consistent, and conducive to the best possible performance by the candidate. We evaluate each site in terms of security, proper room size, ventilation, sufficient number of left-handed seats, accessible restroom facilities within the test center, controlled smoking areas, and noise control.

If a client desires, CASTLE Worldwide can even suggest locations for test sites on the basis of a ZIP code analysis of candidates who register for the examination.
