Sayville, New York; 26-6-2020: As New York State (NYS) battles the lethal and unpredictable COVID-19 pandemic, being one of the worst-affected areas in the world, it's difficult for people across the state to resume life as normal.

Educational, professional, and medical institutions have been shut down for the time being; there is a strict stay-at-home order as people are prevented from social gatherings. Nobody is leaving home except for essential workers and those needing to run errands such as groceries.

Amidst the panic and chaos, several institutions and businesses have stepped up and offered their services online, including Civil Service Success, a private-tutoring company specializing in civil service exams. They are helping students prepare for the NYS Court Officer Exam later this year, by offering online classes and sessions.

Covering everything from crucial learning and material to the background checks, evaluations, and various key details that others may not share, they provide study material, tips, and rigorous training to those who register.

Courses that were previously offered across various locations and spanned over different lengths of time have been reoriented to meet online. It's challenging for students and instructors alike, but the flexibility in time and space due to the stay-at-home orders allows for greater learning.

An instructor at the academy shared their experience of teaching online stating, “Having been associated with Civil Service Success for over ten years now, I've had my fair share of challenges, but nothing has come close to what we see right now. It's a difficult adjustment to make, especially when you're training students on everything from body language to psychological evaluations and exam material that will determine their future careers. But we’re doing the best we can, and it helps to have students that are equally committed.”

Aspirants for the NYS Court Officer Exam can get in touch with the academy to learn more about their options.

However, it’s important to note that students must still register for the exam through the NYS Office of Court Administration website and fill out necessary forms and registration information.
