Test School Clinical Sites are designed to be operated and created by the school. The locations set up by the school are to be run locally within Platinum Planner, by a School Administrator. A site can have as many locations as needed, all with information and directions on how to get to them.

One major difference is that during the creation of opportunities, an instructor has full control of selecting which site and/or specifically which location in the site to assign to those opportunities. Read More.
