S. Coast Guard Auxiliarists, with base access*)  \n• Prior U. S. military members, including retirees and veterans (with base access*)  \n• Dependents of U.S. military retirees (i.e. , spouse, child) (with base access*)  \nProgram Eligibility  \nAs an airman applicant, how do I know if I am eligible to test through the FAA/JSAMTCC AKT Program?  \nFor information on program eligibility and covered groups, refer to page 1 of the FAA/JSAMTCC Program MOA.  \nAs an AKT Center proctor, how will I know if an applicant meets the requirements to take an FAA Airman Knowledge Test?  \nTesting centers are required to have readily available access to the FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Matrix. The Matrix is a ‘living’ document, which resides on the Airman Testing Webpage, and provides details on applicant identification, age verification, address verification, and initial test and retest authorization requirements.  \nIMPORTANT: To ensure each applicant is eligible to test through the FAA/JSAMTCC AKT Program and meets FAA knowledge testing requirements, proctors should consult the MOA and always refer to the FAA Airman Knowledge  Testing Matrix when checking in an applicant for their knowledge test.  \nIf a Reserve Officers Training Corp (ROTC) cadet has base access, may they take an exam through the FAA/JSAMTCC AKT Program?  \nROTC cadets are not included in the groups covered under the MOA. However, Service Academy Cadets are eligible to test (i.e. , United States Naval Academy, United States Air Force Academy, United States Coast Guard Academy, United States Merchant Marine Academy, and United States Military Academy (aka, West Point)) .  \nrequently Questions Page 2 of 7  \nHow can a testing center determine eligibility for “veterans with base access” if the testing center is located off base?  \nThe base access stipulation is to ensure Base Education Offices aren’t burdened with transporting people to and from the main gate. If a testing center is located off base, and does not require authorized access, then a veteran is considered eligible to test if they have the appropriate identification and anu applicable authorization.  \nAre foreign affiliates, contracted under the Department of Defense (DoD) (e.g., Army, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force, Space Force, or Navy), eligible to test?  \nActive-duty officers or enlisted personnel of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Partnership for Peace (PFP) countries , serving in the United States under the sponsorship or by invitation of the DoD , are not eligible for testing through the FAA/JSAMTCC AKT Program.  \nLocating a Participating AKT Center  \nHow do I find a location that delivers no-cost exams through the FAA/JSAMTCC AKT Program?  \nClick the Find a Test Center link on the PSI TrueTalent webpage, and enter your desired postal code, country, distance, and exam, then click the “Search” button. A list of testing centers, based on your entered criteria, will be generated, with participating military testing centers marked with the letter “M”.
