Once you’ve requested your voucher, ECPI University staff will be in touch to assist with scheduling. ECPI University students and alumni may test in one of three ways.

OPTION 1: Take your test on campus—if your campus has an available testing center. (To schedule an on-campus exam, please contact your campus for assistance.)
OPTION 2: Use your voucher code to schedule your exam at a nearby off-site Pearson VUE testing site.
OPTION 3: Use your voucher code to test at home using Pearson’s OnVUE testing platform (if applicable).

IMPORTANT notice for remote & off-site testers:  After you test, you need to let ECPI University staff know the result. Please respond to your voucher email or use the Ask a Librarian form to share your results.

In addition to testing at a Pearson Test Center, CompTIA is offering online certification testing. Candidates can:

• Test anywhere – especially from the security and privacy of their own home.
• Test anytime – online testing can be conducted 24/7, schedule your exam whenever time permits, avoiding competing priorities or conflicts.
• Test in a highly secure environment – remote proctoring ensures all candidates test under the same secure monitoring conditions as a test center.
