So, I realize that in order to pass some of the Courses at WGU you'll need to take and pass a certification exam, i.e. CompTia, Cisco, etc...
How does this work? Are these proctored online and remotely? Or do you have to test at a center for Pearson Vue/ Prometric?

You have to go to a testing center for any of the certification exams. The only times you'd have an online proctored one is when you're already a student and the exam is designed by WGU themselves. -

Thanks. So this is included in tuition? Does WGU provide a voucher?* Currently pursuing: PhD: Information Security and Information Assurance

If there is a certification involved, WGU will pay for the first two attempts (included in your tuition). If you need to attempt a 3rd or 4th try, you have to pay for it yourself, except at the academic rate. Way back I had to take the 70-642 four times before I passed. Normally the tests are $150 each, but I paid $72 each for the 3rd and 4th attempts.Master of Business Administration in Information Technology Management - Western Governors University

It depends on the cert where you take it. Some can be done in a testing center, some can be done online.
