Job overview: Full and part time positions are available. All employees start at $13.50 an hour.

Any adjustments are solely based on merit and performance at the discretion of the company.
The Testing Center Administrator or TCA, has the awesome responsibility of facilitating a great customer experience for hundreds of clients looking to advance their careers in different fields of employment. This customer-facing role requires a super customer service attitude to help testing candidates smoothly in-process and sit for an exam. Most important is the requirement to act with confidence to help candidates feel relaxed for their time-period with us.
This position requires a normal degree of computer savviness. Read that to mean, familiarity with web browsers, Microsoft 365, scanning and digital photo taking. We have a great on-call technical support team to help in times of stray electrons. You’ll never have to learn to program with us, but you certainly will increase your computer literacy.
We operate:
Monday through Saturday (7:30 am to 8:00 pm)
Sunday (8:30 am to 3:00 pm)
We are hiring for the following shifts only:
Full-time Saturday (7:30 am to 4:00 pm)
Full-time Saturday (11:30 am to 8:00 pm)
Part-time Monday through Saturday (7:30 am to 11:30 am) or (3:30 pm to 8:00 pm)
Part-time Sunday (8:30 am to 3:00 pm)
Here's the kicker: Hours of operation vary from testing center to testing center, but the work hours are extremely flexible. Whether you’re a college student or semi-retired, if you can fit your schedule into our testing sessions, we’ll work with you. We’re closed on most federal holidays (and a few additional days as well). Typically, we’re open Sunday through Saturday to help working Americans with a flexible schedule to test.
Is it hard work? Once candidates are checked in and seated for their exams, the TCA is busy for a few minutes preparing for the next session of candidates. In between sessions, when all duties are completed, TCAs are free to relax, read, or study. We have state-of-the art CCTV systems to monitor candidates which provides for rules compliance and an easy-going work environment.
Employment eligibility:
There is a qualifier question that asks "Are you eligible to work in the US?" You must be a US citizen or a permanent resident to hold this position. We proctor exams for the US government and various individual State clients. Each of which dictates this mandatory requirement. Regrettably student work visas or any other type of work permit is ineligible for this position. Do you have any felony or misdemeanor convictions within the previous 5 years? If you do, we will regrettably not be able to hire you.
What are the responsibilities?
Compliance with testing vendor, federal and state licensure rules, policies, and procedures
Continuity of operation, which means showing up to support customers who are trying to sustain or improve their careers (and have paid significant fees to do so)
Verify identification methods with conviction and authority
Electronically (and sometimes paper) check-in of candidates with digital photos, fingerprinting and scanning of pre-requisite documents
Accept the awesome charge of processing I-9 employment authorizations and fingerprinting for federal and state background checks
Monitor candidates for rules compliance while they are testing
Expedite their check-out processes
Handle candidate concerns with courtesy, expediency, and expertise
Maintain a secure and safe facility for the candidates, fellow TCAs and proprietary equipment
Participate in vendor mandated recurrency training on a semi-annual basis
Have fun
Physical requirements:
Be able to lift up to 40 pounds (a case of printer paper is our heaviest item)
Drug and substance abuse free regardless of local or state laws is a must
NOTE: All TCAs are subjected to a federal background check since we administer federal exams
The testing centers are tobacco free and non-users are highly preferred due to the close proximity TCAs are with candidates
TCAs may have to sit for extended periods of time during candidate check-in windows
Perform periodic and random walk-throughs of testing areas are required
Education requirements:
High School Diploma or equivalent
Experience:
At least a year in a customer facing role

Skills:
Basic computer skills to include:
Internet web browser familiarity
A decent amount of experience with Microsoft 365 (Office Suite)
Scanning and printing documents
Can work with a computer mouse and typing skills somewhat better than just hen-pecking a keyboard
Ability to interpret TCA exam instructions

What else?
We’re growing, lots of cool opportunities in the works. Join us to find out

There is pre-requisite training required that is performed at home. The computer-based training (CBT) takes approximately 8.5 hours to complete. Upon completion of this training, credentials are issued. From that point forward your training is paid at your designated hourly rate. If you do not have reliable computer equipment at home, you are welcome to use ours at the training center. The training cannot be done on a phone or tablet.
Great place to network, some of our best TCAs were candidates. Some of our TCAs expanded their personal work portfolio through contacts made at work
When you’re looking to grow your career by stuffing your resume with great work experiences, this will be one of them. Your future employer will look at you as someone who was federally background checked, federally, state and corporate credentialed to proctor exams, I-9 employment verifications and fingerprinting. Your next company will have a fully vetted employee that honed their skills at our workplace. That is of course, if you’re cool with us. We hope you are! Apply and find out.
