BEFORE THE TEST
Instructors are advised to give their students an introductory session on CAN-8 prior to scheduling any tests using the system.
We recommend that students visit the AMLF at least once prior to taking any test at our facility; confirming that you are able to log on to the computers andCAN-8 (if applicable) will help to ensure that you don’t lose valuable time.
For tests that involve voice recordings, students are encouraged to test their microphones and record levels immediately upon arrival to ensure that there are no technical problems.
A lab attendant will be present to read out and assist in enforcing the AMLF test regulations before testing commences.
