hello, any other mtc students here? always could use some advice from a fellow student!
@Monik Sims
I registered with SC LLR about 7-8 weeks before graduation. I scanned the requested documents, passport photos, ss card etc. and submitted the files online. IF you send your info via mail it can take a while and you risk it being placed on a long pile of applicatoins. If you submit your info in person, if I remember correctly, they charge you for processing the info because they would prefer you submit it electronically. Anyway, after I submitted all requested information I went over to PearsonVue, registered and paid for my test, then I paid for my background check and got my fingers printed. This whole process took about 1.5-2 weeks. Afterwards I just kept checking my status at SC LLR to make sure they got all documents, registratoin, and background info... I called twice to make sure. Once that's done you have to graduate and just wait for your schools certificate of endorsement to be sent in. They sent them in about one week and I receive my authorization to test via email about 5 days after graduation. Once I received that I signed in to pearson vue and decided on the best test date for me and registered!
Some people wait to do all their paperwork etc after graduation, but this delays when you can take your test. I did not want any delay because I wanted to be licensed and hurry up and have as strong of an application as possible because I am applying for jobs in Charleston,SC. The market is really competitive now!
