Since late 2007, DCAS has offered computer-based tests on a walk-in only basis at our Computer-based Testing & Applications Centers (CTACs). Beginning on Monday, September 28, 2015, for the exams that will be offered at our CTACs during October 2015 and beyond, you will now have to apply and schedule yourself for one or more of these exams through the Online Application System. If you do not own or have access to a computer, you may come to one of the CTACs to use our computers to apply and schedule yourself for one of these exams.
Please note that for only the exams that were previously offered on a walk-in only basis at the CTACs will you be able to apply and schedule yourself. For other exams that have a multiple-choice test part, you will apply during the application period and then be invited to take the test at a later date.
