It can occur prior to 90 days or deferred at the company's discretion based on performance expectations. 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. Hours and days 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 Monday through Friday (7:30 am to 4:00 pm) * Part-time Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (3:30 pm to 8:00 pm) * Full-time Saturday (7:30 am to 4:00 pm) * Part-time Saturday (3:30 pm to 8:00 pm) * Part-time Sunday (8:30 am to 3:00 pm) * Other shifts may be available based on the needs of the business 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 required to monitor the test takers. We have state-of-the art CCTV systems to monitor candidates which provides for rules compliance and an easy-going work environment. 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 ## Related Videos - [How Web AI Can Power the Agentic Web - Jason Mayes (Google)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1896-how-web-ai-can-power-the-agentic-web-jason-mayes-google) - [One Platform Could Not Fit Them All](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1919-one-platform-could-not-fit-them-all) - [Fake or News: Translating Dog Barks, Notepad Gets an Upgrade and Michelin-Star Robots - Paul Tregoing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1802-fake-or-news-translating-dog-barks-notepad-gets-an-upgrade-and-michelin-star-robots-paul-tregoing) - [How to Assess and Hire Talent: The Skills-Based Hiring Playbook for the AI Age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1488-how-to-assess-and-hire-talent-the-skills-based-hiring-playbook-for-the-ai-age) - [How Sparking Developer Joy Unlocks Developer Productivity](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/613-how-sparking-developer-joy-unlocks-developer-productivity) - [Oh S***!
