Our testing provider is Drake Kryterion. Kryterion offers authorized testing centers in most major cities in the United States and Canada. Limited international locations are available by special arrangement only.
Note: Test center locations are subject to change without notice.
International test centers are by appointment and special permission only.To inquire about availability, contact Diane Daly at
DDaly@astd.org.
For US/Canada test centers view the list of
Testing Locations (updated January 16, 2013). If there is no testing center within a 90 minute driving radius of your work or home, contact the ASTD Certification Institute to inquire if one can be established.
To make a US/Canada test center request, submit your request at least 90 days before you want to test and provide your zip code to Diane Daly at
DDaly@astd.org. ASTD CI will make every effort to accommodate your request.
As a precaution, candidates should make an appointment with an established test center while their request is pending. If a new testing center becomes available, candidates should switch locations at that time. Note that candidates cannot transfer testing windows without remittance of the Transfer Fee (see Chapter 2 of the Candidate Bulletin for fee amount).
