Software proficiency
Volunteers must be proficient in CAD/Autocad or similar programs, and photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop.
All sections of the exam are computer-based and consist of objective items (multiple choice, multiple response and advanced item types).
All volunteers will be expected to use these software tools independently to create and edit graphics.
Laptop access
Volunteers must have access to a laptop computer with drafting software.
If this prevents you from volunteering, please contact Shawn Menefee.
