With millions of educational, certification and licensure tests administered around the world every year, the need for secure testing environments and trained testing staff has never been greater. One local test center has set the bar high for other postsecondary test centers and achieved national status as a leader in excellent testing practices.
Central Carolina Technical College was awarded Test Center Certification by the National College Testing Association (NCTA). Criteria for certification are rigorous and are based on the NCTA Professional Standards and Guidelines, which were developed to guide postsecondary test centers in the delivery of quality testing programs.
Central Carolina Technical College is one among a growing number of test centers in the United States and around the world to have completed this intensive certification process. This certification will be in place for five years and can be renewed by demonstrating continued compliance with national standards.
Congratulations are extended to Marzie Wallick and the entire staff at Central Carolina Technical College for maintaining high test administration standards and for providing excellent service to a wide variety of students and community members in the performance of their duties.
“Earning NCTA certification reflects our commitment to providing a secure, professional and welcoming testing environment for students and community members alike. We are proud to uphold the highest standards of integrity, quality and excellence,” says Karen Gainey, executive director for student records and testing.
The National College Testing Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of professionalism and high-quality service in the administration of testing programs, offers certification to college and university test centers that demonstrate exemplary practices. NCTA membership numbers more than 2,200 testing professionals from more than 650 colleges and universities as well as 50 test companies and organizations offering test-related products and services. www.ncta-testing.org
