Professional and Licensure Exams

Professional and licensure exams assess and certify individuals' qualifications and skills required for specific careers or regulated activities. They ensure competency, comply with industry regulations, support career advancement, and provide a standardized measure of qualifications. These exams help maintain professional standards and ensure that individuals are properly prepared for their roles.

Jax State provides the ACT WorkKeys assessments to community members, which are often required by employers, educational institutions, and Alabama Law Enforcement Agencies. Also known as the Basic Abilities Test (BAT), this assessment includes three components: Graphic Literacy, Applied Math, and Workplace Documents. We recommend checking with your prospective employer to determine which specific tests they require.

Each assessment consists of 35-40 multiple-choice questions and is allocated 55 minutes. The cost is $25 per subject, payable in advance. Contact Jax State Testing Services to schedule your exam. Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive a link to pay the administration fee online.

Note: The administration fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Once both steps are complete, Testing Services will contact you to confirm your test date and time.

  • Identification – Must be an original, current ID issued by a city/state/federal government agency or your school. School ID must be in hard plastic card format. Paper or electronic formats are NOT acceptable.
