Certification Exams
Upon completing each of the four units, a certification exam is available through the MSSC. The exams cover the following subjects (each of which specify key activities):
- Safety

You can choose to take these exams in person at EFSC's Cocoa Campus Assessment Center or, with authorization and by meeting the necessary technical requirements, from the comfort of your home through ProctorU. To support your exam preparation, we provide practice quizzes and vocabulary resources.
