Technology Skills Assessment (TSA)

As part of the education program, you must possess certain basic technology skills. Follow these simple steps to complete your Technology Skills Assessments.

Watch an introduction video for the TSA here.

Step 1: Get a Livetext Account

If you do not have a Livetext account, check their calendar for the next available orientation. There you will receive your TSA certificate, or your program checklist.

Step 2: Prepare for the Assessment

Clicking on the links below will provide you with a list of skills that you are required to know for each area, as well as resources to help you learn any skills that you may not have.

Step 3: Complete each Assessment

At the TEC Lab you will be given a task to test your ability in each of the areas. Each task must be completed in under 30 minutes, but you do not have to complete all tasks at once (you may wish to complete one task per day, for example). As you successfully complete each task, your TSA Certificate or program checklist will be stamped by a Computer Assistant.

*Students with Disabilities

If you have any disabilities which may impair your ability to complete the TSA please contact the University Accessibility Center (422-2767). Reasonable academic accommodations are provided for all students who have qualified documented disabilities.
