While EOT and OPT have been widely well-received, CCO heard concerns relating to insufficient internet access, individuals preferring not to use their personal computers, and a preference to go to a test site rather than creating sterile testing environments.<\/p>\n<p>Due to this feedback, CCO decided to investigate creating an alternative that resulted in the CCO Board taking action to allow for the creation of test center testing (TCT).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased that we received feedback from stakeholders on how valuable testing in-center is and were able to create this option for candidates\u201d said CCO CEO Thom Sicklesteel.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of 2023, as previously announced, paper-pencil and CBT testing will be sunset. However, in 2024, candidates will enjoy the flexibility of three written testing options; OPT, EOT, and TCT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 5, 2023 \u2014CCO is delighted to
