PRLog - Nov. 4, 2014 - LAKE ELMO, Minn. -- National Testing Network (NTN), the leader in test administration services for public safety departments, announces a new testing location in Lake Elmo, Minnesota, in partnership with Rasmussen College, located at 8565 Eagle Point Circle, Lake Elmo, MN 55042.
This new testing location will deliver firefighter, law enforcement, corrections officer and emergency communications officer applicant testing services. The Lake Elmo test site marks the 25th new test center opened by NTN this year. Currently, NTN owns or jointly operates 54 test centers in 21 states.
NTN’s testing service has proven to be more convenient for local job seekers, and allow public safety departments to greatly reduce their applicant screening costs. NTN allows candidates across several Mid-West states to have access to multiple times and dates to take their entry-level placement exams for public safety job openings. By breaking down the testing barriers, and enabling candidates to test in a central location at a convenient time for them, NTN makes the testing process efficient for both the candidate and the department.
“Unlike most testing practices, NTN focuses on the candidate experience, which reduces the barriers candidates face when trying to test for a career in public safety,” said National Testing Network President, Carl Swander, Ph.D. “The benefits of NTN go far beyond significant cost savings for the departments we support. By offering continuous testing, NTN has improved candidate satisfaction in the testing process, while delivering increased diversity and higher quality candidates to departments.”
NTN is the sister company of Ergometrics & Applied Personnel Research, Inc., an organization with 33 years of expertise in testing public service professions, specializing in video-simulated testing designed to expose applicants to real experiences they would encounter on the job.
The tests are specifically designed to identify applicants with the necessary decision making skills and critical thinking aptitude to perform well in a career in public safety. NTN offers departments rapid applicant score reports, making test scores available through a password protected, secure, on-line portal. NTN provides public safety departments the necessary test score data to quickly make sound hiring decisions.
The new testing location will offer entry-level testing for local city, county and state agencies looking to enhance their application process through a centralized, outsourced, testing location. The Lake Elmo location will serve public service agencies and applicants in Minnesota, and will compliment NTN’s other test centers across the Mid-West.
“Rasmussen College is proud to be the first testing site in Minnesota to partner with the National Testing Network, and to help provide a convenient location for public safety job seekers in our local community,” said Mollie Bower, Campus Director at the Rasmussen College.
