If I understand Anton correctly, the only way you can get anything
substantive is to correspond with them via email, and arrange to pay
postage for them to then mail you a pile of dead tree bits. There seems
to be nothing at all available online.

However, Anton also seems to be arguing that it's not actually a
computer skills test of any sort, but rather a physical security and
organizational skills and law and so forth test --- everything else
except computer security skills. If so that would explain the lack of
network-saavy of the organizations struggling to popularize it.
