CNIT's Certification Testing

The next tests at CCSF will be in January 2009.

To schedule a test, students need to first get a voucher. The procedures are different for the different testing programs.
CompTia tests (A+, Network+, Security+, etc.)
Candidates need to order a voucher at least 24 hours before taking a test. Vouchers are good for 1 year and can be used at any testing center.

We can get CompTia test vouchers at a discounted price, through the E2C program. To purchase CompTia vouchers, use one of the links below. Our Comptia Member # is 335566.

Microsoft tests

Sam Bowne already has the vouchers. Purchase them from him for $60 apiece. Note: CCSF can't deliver Microsoft tests any more, because Microsoft changed testing providers. You will have to go to some other testing center. The Microsoft tests eligble for this discount are listed here.

The Academic Second Shot program gives you a free retake - details here.

There are official Microsoft training videos that may help you prepare for your tests here.

Prices

The Security+ test costs $160.
The Network+ test costs $115.
The A+ exam costs $72 per test (there are two tests).

The student must send an email to Marlene Walker at rmwalker@ccsf.edu with:

Subject: Certification Test: CCNA or whatever the Test is)
Contact information (Name, address & ph#)

The day and time they wish to test
A phone number and times you can be contacted, so the registration process can be completed over the telephone. Make sure you have your voucher number, or credit card number, available.

Candidates should come at least 15 mins earlier than the schedule test time so they can complete the registration. The location is the Science Bldg. Room S215.

Candidates must bring two pieces of identification, one with a picture. No materials or personal belongings are allowed at the Computer Testing station. We will lock the Candidate's personal possessions in our cabinet.
