Schedule in Los Angeles
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.
