Florida: Pearson VUE not providing tests until at least April 16th.

[Chris Jones]

Florida: Pearson VUE is not providing tests until at least April 16th.

"Due to increasing concern for the health and safety of our candidates and our employees and in response to government guidance and difficulty procuring the critical hygienic products that keep our test centers safe, we are temporarily closing our U.S.-based Pearson VUE-owned test centers starting Tuesday, March 17.

"Candidates can reschedule their exams for appointments starting April 16 and beyond if conditions allow."​

Is anyone aware of anyone besides Pearson VUE who schedules these tests? Perhaps exceptions could be made for online testing and allow us to show our qualifications in order to help provide insurance products for all those in need during this pandemic. I'm up for any tips or suggestions.

LMGTFY:

Nope.

Unless they are providing services through military bases:

Testing at Domestic and Foreign Military Installations
The Department of Financial Services, through its testing vendor Pearson Vue, now offers Florida Insurance licensure exams at various domestic and international military sites. Active duty personnel, including the spouses of active duty personnel, federal contractors, and civilians working on base, are able to schedule exams at these locations.

I was inquiring about a potential vendor apart from Pearson VUE altogether. For those of us whom have been in courses or refresh training with our tests scheduled, this is a significant setback. At this rate, one cannot get licensed until Pearson VUE says so.

If your state DOI doesn't authorize another center, then no one else is authorized to do it.
