If we determine that this testing platform will not be suitable for the field testing, the examination will be offered using paper booklets.
To qualify for the field test, candidates should be authorized to perform the full extent of testing as defined in the job description. Candidates who perform limited functions in the discipline, e.g., marijuana analysis only, should not take the field test.
