Status Of The Transition

A limited number of PROCTOR Certification and Training Centers will be replaced by at least one authorized Sylvan Technology Center in the same geographic area beginning in November 1996. As these sites become available, the PROCTOR Certification and Training Centers affected by the transition will be instructing candidates to call for details on the transition of each site. The transition schedule varies by site and has numerous dependencies making it difficult to publish a schedule for all sites that will not change. For this reason candidates should continue to contact their local PROCTOR Certification and Training Center to obtain the most current information regarding appointment scheduling.

In December 1996, additional authorized Sylvan Technology Centers in different geographic areas will be available for delivery. Scheduling appointments at any of the authorized Sylvan Technology Centers will be available through an 800 number using Sylvan's National Registration Center. Once the transition to the Sylvan Technology Centers is complete, a list of locations with addresses and phone numbers will be published. Please watch for further communications regarding additional sites in future Notices to Members.
