Testing Center

What is the Testing Center?

The Testing Center at Western Iowa Tech Community College was established to have a quiet, secure place for public testing as well as a centralized location for student make-up testing. The Testing Center is monitored by security cameras and sound for the protection of the test-takers.

If you are interested in taking a test at the WITCC Testing Center, or would like more information on the Testing Center, contact the Testing Center with any questions you may have.

Western Iowa Tech Community College is located east on Stone Avenue off of Gordon Drive. There is a Casey's on the corner of Stone Avenue and Gordon Drive.

If you are unfamiliar with the WITCC campus you can stop at the registration desk to get directions to the room. There will also be signs directing you to the Test Center.
