The Econsortium Group

Although it is a rather non-​descript office in a rather non-​descript buliding, the Econsortium Group’s Pearson Center gets the job done with minimal fuss.
If you’re coming here, chances are that it’s to take a computerized exam. There are about 16 or so stations, I think, and you can have your pick of computer. You’re also required to leave your cell phone, wallet, and now — in anticipation of the coming wave of wearable computing — watch in the lockers, before entering the lab.
I’ve come here twice for 10:00 am appointments, and was the first person to arrive. Both times, the proctor arrived a little after 9:30 am, but promptly took my information and seated me at a computer. I was out around 10:30 both times. Not bad at all for what would have been a 90 minute exam.
This center also does administer verbal exams, so if you’re thinking of showing up here, then I would greatly advise scheduling an early morning appointment on Saturday, in order to have the testing center to yourself.
Other than that, this place is run professionally and gets the job done (which is a welcome relief compared to other testing centers I’ve tried), and there are plenty of places to eat in the area once you’re done.

Have taken numerous Microsoft exams here and love the facilities and the staff. The building is a little old but the center itself is very clean, modern and peaceful. Have been to other testing centers and never felt comfortable but the staff here really makes you feel at home.

If you’re here, it’s probably for a Microsoft certification exam. The place is kind of run down (lock your car!), and the building is shabby, but it does the job. The staff is friendly and helpful, quite courteous. Lockers are provided for personals that you can’t take in the testing area (like cell phones), regular masterlock padlocks that you lock and hold the key. They’re on the small side, so you can fit in a phone or maybe a medium-​sized purse, but not a back pack or carpet bag. Please make sure you silence your phone before locking it too!
