National College Testing Association Recertifies AC’s Testing Service Center

Amarillo College’s Testing Services was recertified by the National College Testing Association (NCTA) last month through a rigorous and thorough process enabling the center to test hundreds of students on a myriad of career-centered tests. 

“It was a seven-month process to gather and report everything from room size and arrangement to procedures and confidentiality,” said Erin Frey, AC’s Testing Service coordinator, who took on the project just months into her position. “Together we demonstrated the professionalism and careful detail we take to ensure a first-rate Center.” 

AC’s Testing Services offers a range of tests from Texas Success Initiative (TSI) to College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) to education certification exams and exams required for first responders and many others. 

AC’s Testing Service Center is one in a growing number of centers in the United States and across the world to have completed the intensive recertification process, which lasts for five years and can be renewed by demonstrating compliance to national standards.  

The National College Testing Association, a non-profit 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 650 colleges and universities as well as 50 test companies and organizations offering test-related products and services.
