Tunisia, January 4, 2011 — Prometric, the leading provider of testing and assessment services, today announced that it has teamed up with AMIDEAST to open a new Professional Testing Center in Tunisia that will offer academic and professional credentialing exams for the first time.

AMIDEAST/Tunisia conducted its first aviation English class 17 years ago. Today, it is teaching more than 800 pilots and air controllers in aviation English and is emerging as a regional hub for testing proficiency in this specialized area.

Four bright young men and women from Egypt, Lebanon, and Tunisia are the latest beneficiaries of the Diana Kamal Scholarship Search Fund (DKSSF), an initiative that enables AMIDEAST to match highly deserving Arab youth with scholarships to pursue their education in the United States.
