CritiCall 911 Dispatcher Pre-Employment Skills Test - Biddle Consulting Group

The 911 Dispatcher CritiCall test is a computer-based pre-employment skills test that public-safety agencies use when hiring dispatchers and call takers. Each agency picks the tests it needs from a library covering multi-tasking, data entry, call summarization, reading, spelling, map reading, memory and numerical ability, and sets its own passing scores. SummitCert's portal helps you practice those skills with exam-style questions and explanations, flashcards, a timed mock and progress tracking by skill area.
