A platform to practically take the theoretical exam required in the apprenticeship process would be available to citizens around March.
This was reported by the EFE agency in a note published by Notiseis, in which they pointed out that the designated secretary of the Department of Transport and Public Works (DTOP), Eileen Vélez, announced that due to the delay of online appointments to take the exam, not only will new exchanges be opened, but a system will be established so that it can be taught remotely.
“We have a project so that those who want to be able to take the digital exam. We will give it at least until March, because we are working on the platform, so that it can be launched,” he told the agency.
Currently, appointments to take the exam will be given for July or August, which is the aforementioned delay.
