Based on what I read, it appears as if OP wasn't extended an offer, rather; she is an internal with PDX who has been told they can get into a class of a certain date if they are ready by that time.
ADX question
- Thread starter flygirl142
- Start date
The original post said the company would pay for the class, but now they have to pass the ADX in a very short period of time for the next class.
That just seems like we’re skipping a few steps, since the class is very soon.

Don't hesitate. Penetrate!
You can take the ADX before going to class. Sounds like that's the offer the company has made... Pass the ADX and we'll pay for class. It's a little backwards, but you can technically do it that way.

Sorry, I've been working and studying so hadn't been back to check the thread.
Yes, I'm internal PDT. Basically, my view is they figure if I can study and pass the ADX written test on my own, then I won't wash out in class if they invest in me that way. Also, I'm happy that from what I hear from everyone, I'll be much less stressed out in class if I'm not studying for class and the test at the same time.
The class I'm talking about is not their OJT class but class at Sheffield where they were holding a slot for someone else that decided to wait. Then, if I pass the class and orals/practical, I'll go back to my old job until they open an OJT class.
I've wanted to do this for 13 years but never was able to swing it. I'm grateful to be at a company that can help me get my license now.
Ah, ok. My assumption when you said class was class at PDT. That makes sense.
For what it's worth, I think it would be great to have passed the ADX before class, but don't go and waste money if you aren't ready to take it. It's not an easy test if you aren't familiar with the topics. I'm sure now I could pass with flying colors. But 2 or 3 years ago that wasn't the case lol
If you are able to pass the practice tests pretty well, go ahead and take it. But keep in mind, you are talking about taking the test before you learn the material. So if you don't take the test before the class, don't feel bad.
