NEW YORK—The Entertainment Technician Certification Program (ETCP) will launch practice exams for the Rigger–Arena, Rigger–Theatre and Entertainment Electrician certification exams on July 15, 2009. The web-based practice exams will consist of 50 questions and are available from that date forward for $35 at www.goamp.com. Candidates should go to the “Candidates” and then follow the menu to ETCP where can choose one of the three exams.

The ETCP Council is offering these exams to allay participants concerns regarding computer based testing, and returning to a testing environment after what my be years away from school. The 50-question practice exams will provide candidates with a valuable tool for self assessment. There is no application process with the practice exams; so any interested candidate will be able to take the exam privately at home, at the office or on the road whenever it is most convenient for him or her.

“I speak with candidates every day who are intimidated by this exam,” said Meredith Moseley-Bennett, the ETCP Certification Manager, “Our hope is that the candidates who opt to take the practice exams will go into the actual exam feeling more comfortable and confident because they have gotten a general sense of the exams beforehand. Since the practice exams are exactly one-third of the test questions of the final exams, the candidates can time themselves for one hour to make sure they are answering the questions within the proper time-frame. At the end of the practice exams, candidates will be provided with a score report that is divided into the broad areas of the content outline which will help them get a sense of the areas that need more attention.”

To take the practice exams, please visit www.goamp.com.
