DSST & Uexcel Advice -- Limited Exams & Testing Availability
#1
I was just reading through a couple of posts and I'm curious why DSST & Uexcel exams are being suggested for recent degree completion programs. I checked over the past week and DSST is only offering a few on-site exams to qualifying military and they're not the exams being suggested. Additionally, Uexcel is now offering limited proctored exams and those aren't being suggested either. Are these web pages I'm referring to dated or is the information being shared incorrect? Is there an online proctored alternative that's servicing the whole catalog of courses I should know about? I'm NON-military and am interested in DSST Ethics in Technology and the Fundamentals of Cybersecurity. Does anyone have updated info on where I can take these proctored from my home? Or any testing centers allowing civilians to take these now. 

Because:

One of my closest DSST approved sites has mentioned that they might reopen sometime in October and still no mention of the exams that may be available at that time. I'll have to contact them again to see if they're offering the full catalog of exams or not.

People making the suggestions are likely assuming that you'll do other things first and then the DSST/Uexcel centers will be open by the time you get around to them. I think that this is a little bit short-sighted. I don't think these testing centers will be fully open for another 12 months at the very least. Unfortunately, this means needing to find alternatives in the meantime. Have you already taken the TEEX cybersecurity courses? Do they not overlap?

In my area some colleges have reopened for fall courses, and so have their DSST test centers.
