Possible online services disruption due to Internet related outage

A worldwide technology outage is causing disruption to some State of Illinois online systems.  We are aware of this issue and are diligently working on restoration.

IMPORTANT: There are no testing slots available for the BEI TEP Written Tests and BEI Performance Tests for the rest of the year. Applications for both tests are not accepted at this time. Please come back when the new testing schedule is open for accepting applications for the 2025 year.
