Testing Services
UMGC offers National Test Centers (NTC) featuring exams and certifications in a wide variety of subject areas, on-site support, easy scheduling, and the benefit of instant score results. Available exams include College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST), Pearson VUE, and Excelsior College exams. If you are interested in earning credit or certifications through testing services, contact us.
Who is Eligible?
Examinations are available to DANTES-funded active duty military servicemembers and eligible civilian employees and, on a space-available basis, to all other examinees who have a U.S. military ID card.
Please note: For some exams, an additional $35 sitting fee for testing will be payable to UMGC Europe. Sitting fees can be paid via credit or debit card at the NTC. We cannot accept cash payments for sitting fees at this time.
- If you are taking a DANTES-funded exam, the $35 sitting fee will be waived.
- If you are taking a Pearson VUE exam, the $35 sitting fee will be waived.
- If you are taking non-funded CLEP or DSST exams (including any retake exams by active-duty servicemembers), the $35 sitting fee will apply per exam title (e.g., if you take two CLEP exams during one testing session, a $35 sitting fee will be charged twice for a total of $70).
- If you are taking ASE exams, the $35 sitting fee will be charged for each 3-hour appointment, no matter how many exam titles are completed during the appointment.
- All other third-party exams not listed above will incur the $35 sitting fee per exam.
Directions and Parking
The UMGC office is located in the Kleine Brogel Family Support Center.

Continue to drive on the E-39 into Holland in the direction of Antwerp. Exit onto Highway E-39 in the direction of Antwerp, driving into Belgium. After you cross the border into Belgium you will see exit signs for Genk. Take the second Genk exit, number 31 for Genk-Noord, toward Genk and Meeuwen. As you exit the highway, take a right toward Zwartberg. Go through the town of Zwartberg and continue driving toward Meeuwen. Drive into Meeuwen and you will drive past a brick church on the right. Beyond the church is a traffic light, Make a left turn at the traffic light and then an immediate right in the direction of Peer. About 5.5 kilometers after leaving Meeuwen you'll come to a stop sign. Left goes to the church in Peer, and right goes to Bree. Go straight through the stop sign and follow the signs for "Kleine Brogel.'' About 100 meters prior to the base is a sign on the left side for "Valkenswaard, Kleine Brogel & N 748." Turn left after the sign and after a few blocks you will be forced to turn right. Continue driving on this road until you come to Kleine Brogel. Just before the base there is a traffic circle. Take the first exit in the traffic circle and drive in the direction of Kaulille. You will see the base on your right. The American section of the base is on your right as you enter the base.
