News & Events
New Service – OFMEM E-Testing
The EOETA is pleased to work with the OFMEM AS&E section to offer bi-monthy etesting for various NFPA standards. The purpose of this service is to offer students a local site to write the exams for OFC on-line courses that students have successfully completed, a rewrite or similar situation. On-line registration will be posted on the EOETA website. Registrations will close 4 weeks prior to the exam date and there will be no additions or changes after that date. There is no fee for the exam but students must send in a certificate of completion from the OFC or agency verifying that the candidate has completed the necessary work to write the exam. If this is not submitted 4 weeks prior to the exam, the student will not be eligible to write the exam. All exam days for this service will start at 0830h.
Presently, February 5, April 2 and June 4 have been scheduled as OFMEM E-test days. Registration will open shortly for these dates.
As this offering is a pilot service, it will be evaluated after the three sessions to determine its value to our users.
