PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Center for Information Warfare Training-managed foreign language testing sites in Everett, Jacksonville, Norfolk, Pensacola, and San Diego will resume foreign language testing services at a reduced capacity in compliance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Department of Defense (DoD) COVID-19 mitigation policies, April 2021.

Sites will administer the Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB) and Defense Language Proficiency Tests (DLPT) by appointment only, so testing will not be available on a walk-in basis.

Personnel may schedule an appointment to take a DLAB or DLPT by visiting the following portal: https://www.mnp.navy.mil/group/training-education-qualifications/appointment-scheduler

Test control officers (TCO) will manage site testing schedules and prioritize testing as necessary. If you have an urgent, mission-driven need to complete a test (e.g., to certify foreign language proficiency for a pending assignment to a billet coded for foreign language skills), but cannot identify an open appointment slot using the scheduler link, please contact the site TCO directly for assistance using the following information:

• Everett, Washington - email: CIWT_CRRY_Lang_Testing_Everett@navy.mil
• Jacksonville, Florida - email: CIWT_CRRY_Lang_Testing_Jacksonville@navy.mil
• Norfolk, Virginia - email: CIWT_CRRY_Lang_Testing_Norfolk@navy.mil / Ph.: 757.444.9245
• Pensacola, Florida - email: CIWT_CRRY_Lang_Testing_Pensacola@navy.mil / Ph.: 850.452.4579
• San Diego, California - email: CIWT_CRRY_Lang_Testing_San_Diego@navy.mil / phone.: 619.556.3246

On testing days, TCOs will screen all examinees in accordance with current Commander, U.S. States Fleet Forces Command/ U.S. Naval Forces Northern Command guidance and may deny entry to the testing facility based on unfavorable screening results (e.g., elevated body temperature). While in the testing facility all personnel are required to wear DoD-approved personal protective equipment properly (i.e., mask covering nose and mouth) and maintain six feet of separation from others at all times.

We look forward to supporting your language testing needs. Welcome back!
