Test Centers for VCLA Computer-Based Testing

VCLA computer-based testing is available at Pearson VUE test centers nationwide. You should register as early as possible before your desired test date as seating is limited. You will select your test center as part of the test-scheduling process. You will receive confirmation of your test center location, including directions to the test center, after you have scheduled your test.

VCLA computer-based testing is available at Pearson VUE test centers in the following Virginia locations:

  • Lynchburg
  • Newport News
  • Richmond
  • Roanoke
  • Vienna

Refer to the Pearson VUE Web site at www.pearsonvue.com for up-to-date information about test centers, including test center addresses and locations of test centers outside of Virginia.

Paper-based testing
Test Areas for VCLA and VRA Paper-Based Testing

When registering, indicate your test area choice. Your specific test site will be determined based on availability and appropriateness of facilities for test administration and will be within the areas listed but not necessarily within the actual city limits. Register as early as possible to increase your chances of being assigned to a test site within your first-choice area. When registering by mail, be sure to select a second-choice test area in case space is not available at a test site within your first-choice area.

Every effort will be made to assign you to your first- or second-choice test area; however, this may not be possible, as test site assignments depend upon available space. A request to be assigned to a specific testing facility within a test area or a request to be changed from one testing facility to another within the same test area cannot be accommodated.

The name and address of your test site assignment will be provided on your admission ticket.
