Alycia W: What is a telecommunications critical exam and who gives it you?
After pass the typing test, clerical test, and applying for a postion as a 9-1-1 dispatcher I have to pass a telecommunicator critical exam. Dose the police/fire/ ems departments give you traing for this or do you have to know this stuff before getting hired?
