Don't do it! 
I was one of the founders and still a proctor for a Pearson Vue center down here and the hoops you have to jump through are unbelievable. Once you're up and running it's a constant stream of headaches and aggravation. For example - I just got an Email a week or two ago about a tester caught taking a picture of the screen with a cellphone. We got audited for that one, but it was cleared up quickly enough with minimal downtime.
For the last five years I've been trying to get our site authorized for ECE's, but Excelsior just isn't biting. Evidently you have to be a Regional Vue site whereas we're just a "whatever" APO site. We can give all sorts of IT certifications and EMT exams, but no educational exams.
The local college is authorized for CLEPs and DSST's (through Prometric), but they aren't authorized ECE's because they won't hire someone to install the webcams. I've offered to do it for free and have been turned down. They say it violates a contract. Ridiculous, but we've been stuck with paper exams for so long it really doesn't matter I guess.
