Alabama Association of Testing Professionals
The National College Testing Association (NCTA) is a non-profit organization of testing professionals working in post-secondary institutions, in companies with test-related products and services, and in other professional testing venues. NCTA was organized in 2000 through the merging of several regional associations.
Communication and professional development are promoted through quarterly meetings, active mailing list, and projects advancing the mission of the organization. Some members attend the annual NCTA conference which provides opportunities for professional networking, valuable information on technical and operational developments related to testing, and chances to interface with representatives from all of the major testing companies.
We are the Alabama Chapter of the NCTA
