And preparing a special cadre of directors and specialized trainers in order to acquire ETS approval, approve the registration, and send them all on an overseas training course.
After that, the centre's director needed to take a management exam administered by ETS as a prerequisite for the center's registration. When he passed the exam, he became an official ETS subscriber.
Several stages were completed in order to match the specifications of computers, software, and the Internet with those of ETS. As their work system consists of many work teams, each team is responsible for a portion of Assignments, and its procedures are completed until all procedures have been met with all teams, after which dates have been set and activated. The center has subsequently entered into the STN system.
The first exam was conducted in January 2010, and subsequent exams were conducted on various occasions every month for a whole year.
As 2011 approached, ETS released the IAS System, a new generation of software (IAS).Which is very different from the STN system (iBT Administration system) The first prerequisites of this system include the Director of the Center's participation in the Expert Management Exam, which consists of 80 questions And no room for a wrong answer to at least one of the questions.
