Our aptitude testing program consists of two sessions, each about three and a half hours long, and the evaluation conference, which can take one to one and a half hours.
These appointments may be scheduled on consecutive days or spread out over several days or even weeks if you prefer, with no effect on the results. Morning sessions start at 8:30 or 9:00 am and afternoon sessions start at 1:00 or 1:30 pm, depending on the local office.
Our affiliate offices (Austin, Boca Raton, North Carolina, and Tampa) are run by former full-time staff members of JOCRF. They offer the same aptitude testing service and trained staff as our other locations but operate under an independent business model.
Our current fee is $950 in all of our offices. We request a $100 deposit to hold appointments.
Our office on Erie Street is located in a remarkable 140-year-old former row home in the Streeterville neighborhood of Chicago. Our building is controlled-access; please use the callbox in the foyer to obtain access to our suite.
Our office is on the second floor and the building does not have an elevator or handicap accessible restroom. Please let us know in advance if this poses a problem for you.
By car: Exit I-90/94 at Ohio Street. Turn left at Michigan Avenue. Go two blocks to Erie Street. Turn right onto Erie to the middle of the block. Street parking availability is limited so please allow ample time to secure parking and plan to possibly valet your car or park in a nearby parking garage. SpotHero and ParkWhiz are useful resources for parking options.
By train: Take the #125 bus from Union Station or Ogilvie Transportation Center to Michigan and Ontario. Walk one block north to Erie Street.
By subway: We are a ten-minute walk from the Red Line Chicago stop (Chicago and State) and the Red Line Grand stop (Grand and State). Walk east to Michigan Avenue and south to Erie Street. For more information, call 888 YOUR-CTA or visit www.transitchicago.com.
