Welcome to the US National Services Education page.

The Camarilla Education Department provides resources for member education in the responsibilities of membership, the coordinator and storyteller offices, and in other topics related to the Camarilla society as a whole. Here you will find information on each test, links to the resources needed for taking those tests, and other useful materials as they become available.

TEST-TAKING HINTS:

• Take your time.  You can generate a test, print it out, and work on it at your leisure.
  

• Read the questions carefully.  Accuracy is more important than speed.
  

• Use an electronic copy of the Membership Handbook.  Often you can find answers by searching the handbook for key words and phrases.
  

• Short Answers should be at least three sentences.  Even when we want an answer ‘in your own words’, one sentence is rarely enough to do justice to the topic.
  

• Do NOT copy and paste entire paragraphs of the handbook.  We are more interested in your ability and willingness to read, understand, and interpret what the handbook says rather than in your deftness with the cut-and-paste. Sometimes it makes sense, such as when you are asked for a list of items, in which case it’s okay. If we ask you to describe a policy, though, describe it rather than retype the handbook.
