PearsonVUE Integration
The PearsonVUE Integration was developed to allow specific IW users to import candidates and registrations, publish exams and import responses to and from PearsonVUE. It is currently in a pilot project for NYC DOB.
Functionality
Accommodations
From the PearsonVUE documentation:
The pre-approved accommodations that will be offered to the candidate during the exam registration process. See Additional Notes below. Pre-approved accommodations can be granted or denied at the time of registration. In the Sample data column, the offer to the candidate would be:
- Extra Break - 1 at 10 min (BR0110)
- Extra Time - 1 Hour for (ET01HR)
CDD/EAD Export
Background
Clients send data to be imported into Pearson VUE’s database. Two types of data files are commonly sent from clients to Pearson VUE.
Candidate Demographic Data
Client CDD files are time-stamped records that contain candidate demographic data (name, IDs, address, etc.). Upon importing a client CDD file, Pearson VUE returns a VUE Candidate Demographic Confirmation (VCDC) file. This lets the client know which records were imported and which records failed.
Exam Authorization Data
Client EAD files (sometimes called “eligibility files”) are time-stamped records that contain authorizations for specific candidates to register for specific exams. Upon importing a client EAD file, Pearson VUE returns an Exam Authorization Confirmation (EAC) file that lets the client know which authorization records were imported and which records failed.
How to use publish CDD/EAD Files
You must have a bank selected. Navigate to the Pearson → CDD/EAD Export menu option.
