New Services now offer testing for Public Safety positions
FARMINGTON, ME (September 28, 2020)—The University of Maine at Farmington Testing Services, a center that offers proctored standardized and professional exams, has once again expanded its services to now include testing for Public Safety positions by the National Testing Network.

The UMF Testing Services facility is located at 252 Main Street, Farmington, on the third floor of Franklin Hall on the University of Maine at Farmington campus. It offers testing Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., with occasional Saturdays.
