Welcome to Testing Services
Testing Services has moved!
Testing Services has moved to a new location in the Heinkel Building at 201 S. 7th Street in Columbia. The Heinkel Building is located just north of the State Historical Society and is approximately three blocks north of our old location in Parker Hall.
