Testing day, at your plant or at our office

Our testing administrators travel with the simulators to your plant, on your time and schedule. Assessments can also be scheduled at our Toronto-Etobicoke office.

During a series of standardized and timed tests, the candidate or employee has to resolve malfunctions created in the simulator by a certified testing administrator, in the most logical way and in the least time. There are distinct tests at several levels of difficulty, matched to the role.
