PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT
A GROWING RESOURCE
SERVING OUR CAMPUS COMMUNITY AND REGION
CWU TESTING SERVICES A Regional Hub for Certification Exams For professionals and students across Central Washington, CWU Testing Services provides a vital resource: a convenient, centrally located testing center that offers a wide range of certification exams. With limited testing centers on this side of the Cascades—typically only three or four depending on the test vendor—CWU Testing Services saves test-takers from long drives, including treacherous winter trips over the pass. What sets CWU apart is its ability to administer exams from multiple test vendors, a rarity in the region where many centers specialize in just one. This flexibility ensures that individuals pursuing various career certifications can find the tests they need closer to home. Combined with a welcoming and professional staff dedicated to reducing test-day stress, CWU Testing Services stands out as a trusted, accessible option for the community.
