The Education and Training Section on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is suspending all testing effective through May 11 due to COVID-19 precautions. While testing centers play a key role for continuing operations, particularly among the enlisted force, commanders have the authority to determine testing center availability to maintain health and safety.

This includes the Enlisted Professional Military Education, Career Development Courses, Job Site Training, Air Force Classification, Air Force Reading Abilities Test, Air Force Officer Qualification Test, Electronic Data Processing Test, Air Traffic Scenarios Test, Tailored Adaptive Personality Assessment System, Defense Language Proficiency/Aptitude Battery Testing, and Oral Proficiency Interview.

Also effected during this time, Weighted Airman Promotion System testing at Wright-Patterson is postponed until May 11 as well. Any Airman who is unable to test within the extended testing cycle window will be automatically considered for in-system supplemental promotion consideration once they are able to test.

If you receive Foreign Language Proficiency Bonus Pay, please be patient while Education and Training staff work on obtaining further guidance. They will provide updates as soon as they are available.

No guidance is available at this time about program deadlines or test expirations. Please direct questions about specific programs to the program point of contacts or your unit training managers.

Please direct all other questions or concerns to 88FSS.FSDEE.MilTest@us.af.mil.
