This photo should show the CCTV monitor with all workstations visible. It needs to show exactly what a Test Administrator would see while monitoring candidates during testing. This field is required unless you are monitoring via a viewing window, or you are monitoring with a test administrator in the testing room.

This photo should show all exam delivery workstations in a permanently enclosed area (four walls from floor to ceiling) that is separate from the rest of the office space. The room must be free of distractions such as books, paperwork, phones, test-related material on walls, printers or electronics etc. It should also show all exam delivery workstations that are being requested for approval. Number the workstations using a piece of paper to indicate the ones that you want to use. Be sure to include a photo of the exam delivery workstation that clearly shows the dimensions of the desk to ensure there is space for a keyboard, mouse, and erasable noteboard. Each workstation must be separated from the neighboring workstation by at least 4 feet (1.2m). If partitions are being used see below for additional requirements*. Include a tape measure to show the distance between each workstation. If there is not enough space between the workstations, you may use alternate workstations. If using alternate workstations please indicate which workstations you wish to use. You may upload multiple photos to this section if needed. *Partitions should be solid, permanent partitions or walls. Cardboard partitions are not acceptable. Partitions must be at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) in height and extend outward from the wall at least 4 feet (1.2 meters). Desktop partitions are acceptable as long as the height measured from the floor is at least 5 feet (1.5 meters), and the width measured outward from the wall is 4 feet (1.2 meters).

Provide a photo of the exterior of the building showing the address, school/company signage and the parking area/or nearest public transportation location.

Provide a photo of the address shown on the exterior of the building.

The check-in/reception area must show that there is a desktop PC which will be used to check-in candidates. The check-in process must be performed before allowing a candidate to enter the test room. The check-in/reception must show that there is a desktop PC for use by candidates checking in. Photos should also show available seating for candidates who arrive early. If the waiting area is separate from the check-in area, please provide a photo of both.

A neutral background is required in the check-in area to provide a background for the digital photo of the candidate (e.g., white painted wall). This space should allow roughly 2-3 feet (.6-1 meter) from the camera in order to capture an approved photo. This must be near the check-in desk as it is used to capture the candidate's photo upon admission. Please label in the photo where the neutral background is. The entire candidate's face and neck should be visible and centered in the picture. Only the candidate and the neutral background can appear in the photo and no other visible items are allowed in the photo including but not limited to door/window frames, plants, art, or other items on the wall.

Provide a photo of the lockable area where candidates will secure items outside of the testing area (e.g., lockers, lockable cabinet, lockable drawer). The locking mechanism must be visible in the photo (e.g., if it's a key lock, the key must be in the lock). This should be in or near the check-in area.

To be used if there are any additional photos (Multiple Upload up to 10 allowed).
