IBDL Learning Group is continuously expanding its network of testing centers. If you currently operate a center and are interested in joining the IBDL Testing Network, please refer to the outlined requirements below. We eagerly anticipate reviewing your application.
Requirements
Testing Area
- The testing area must be situated in a manner that ensures Test Takers are not disturbed by foot traffic, conversations, or external noises.
- Noise-canceling headphones or disposable earplugs must be provided to Test Takers or be available at each IBDL workstation before the start of the exam.
- The testing area must remain free from any other activities during a testing session.
- IBDL prohibits Test Takers from bringing tobacco products, food, drinks, or chewing gum into the testing area.
Control of Room Temperature and Ventilation
- The testing area must be comfortable and well-ventilated, maintaining a room temperature between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.
- Ventilation should ensure continuous air circulation.
Ample Lighting
- The testing area must have sufficient lighting, allowing Test Takers to easily read test items, materials, and the computer screen without difficulty.
Sufficient Physical Space
- The testing area must be large enough to place the testing stations, computer tables, and chairs adequately, such that the Test Taker can easily move about.
- Each testing workstation must be separated with a partition or spaced apart by 5 feet or 1.5 meters to prevent a candidate from viewing another computer screen. If a partition or an adequate amount of space between workstations is not available, an IBDL Test Taker cannot be seated next to another IBDL Test Taker.
Workspace
- Workstations/tabletops must be large enough to allow for the monitor, keyboard (if not placed on a slide tray under the desk), mouse and test aids used by a Test Taker.
- Minimum height should be 30 in (76.2 cm) and minimum width should be 42 in (107 cm). Depth can vary based on whether a slide tray is used under the desk for a keyboard, and the type of monitor being used.
