The full-time staff in the Meyer Testing Center (Sue McCrory, Kevin Wilson, Amy Hankins, and Scott Fischer) all recently completed and passed the National College Testing Association (NCTA) Proctor Certification exam.

 

Attaining the NCTA Proctor Certification furthers the professional development of testing staff working in educational institutions and the private sector, helps to ensure the preservation and relevance of exam content for all stakeholders including test vendors, sponsors, and examinees, provides opportunities for new proctoring training that is non-specific to a test program, enhances the credibility of professional proctors by demonstrating that they understand and adhere to proctoring best practices, and protects testing integrity by ensuring individuals understand industry standards and guidelines.

 

NCTA’s mission includes “the promotion of professionalism and quality in the administration of testing services and programs.”  Proctor Certification, including the exam, continuing education opportunities, and recertification policy, represent a major step forward for the profession toward this goal.
