You are not allowed to use your own calculator during testing. It is GateWay Testing Center policy that they will provide official non-programmable calculators for testing.
Report to the GateWay testing Center at 9:30 am to give you time to get settled and to use the bathroom. At 9:50 am all testers are checked in so that everyone may start at the same time.
If you find that you need to change your test date and/or your test type, contact Maggie at operatorcert@gmail.com as quickly as possible. She will be able to either make the changes prior to your test or she may suggest that you request a test type change with the proctor on the day of the test.
DO NOT CONTACT ABC FOR ANY CHANGE REQUESTS FOR THESE TESTS.
****************************
STUDYING IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE VICINITY OF THE TESTING ROOM AT GATEWAY.
BATHROOM POLICY: Testers are NOT allowed to use the bathroom facilities while taking the exam. Therefore, be sure to use the facility prior to testing.
The only exception is for testers with frequent urination/bladder continence issues. If you have bladder issues, you will be allowed to use the bathroom... BUT ONLY if you provide a doctor's note to the proctors. Further, the bathrooms will be checked before and after you are done and if anything is found it will be reported and you will not be allowed to finish your exam.
NO SHOW POLICY!!!
If you purchase a ticket and DO NOT show up for your test, your ticket WILL NOT be rescheduled. You will lose your ticket. Instead, you must purchase a new ticket for the next test. The only exception to this rule is if you have contacted Lisa prior to the test with your excuse for not showing (or if you contact her quickly within a day after the test, if there was an emergency), and she will reschedule your test. Only Lisa can reschedule your test. Staff at PurplePass CANNOT reschedule. Proctors cannot reschedule. If you need to have your test rescheduled, contact Lisa at ford@gatewaycc.edu
If you need to have your test rescheduled, contact Lisa at: ford@gatewaycc.edu

PHOENIX GATEWAY TESTING DATES:
The GateWay ADEQ cert testing program was moved from the GateWay Water Technologies Department to the GateWay Testing Center on July 1st.
As a result of the transition, some of the technical issues/applications relative to this change are in the process of being completed. A summer testing schedule and tickets for sale will be published once this is done.
