The San Juan College Testing Center has once again earned national recognition after being officially recertified by the National College Testing Association (NCTA).
This achievement reflects the Testing Center’s ongoing commitment to maintaining secure, professional and student-centered testing services that meet the highest standards in the industry.
The NCTA recertification process is known for its rigor. Centers seeking certification must demonstrate compliance with the NCTA Professional Standards and Guidelines, which serve as a nationwide benchmark for delivering quality testing programs at post-secondary institutions. By meeting these standards, the SJC Testing Center reinforces its position as a trusted and reliable resource for students, professionals and community members who depend on secure and accessible testing environments.
A Commitment to Secure and Accessible Testing
“Our goal is to provide a secure, supportive and accessible testing experience,” said Mark Norwood, Director of Testing. “Meeting the NCTA standards demonstrates our ongoing commitment to quality and ensures that every test taker can feel confident in the process.”
This focus on security and support is especially significant in today’s educational landscape. With millions of educational, certification and licensure exams administered every year around the world, institutions must adopt strong testing management practices to protect exam integrity and ensure fairness. The SJC Testing Center’s recertification confirms that its staff, procedures and facilities continue to meet and exceed those expectations.
Recognized Leader in High-Quality Testing Practices
The National College Testing Association is a respected, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving professional testing services and advancing high-quality standards across the country. NCTA represents more than 2,200 testing professionals, including administrators from over 650 colleges and universities, as well as numerous testing-related companies and organizations.
This national recognition places the SJC Testing Center among a select and expanding group of test centers in the United States and internationally that have completed the demanding recertification process. The designation remains valid for five years and may be renewed by continuing to demonstrate compliance with national standards.
Supporting Student Success and Community Excellence
“We are incredibly proud of the dedication shown by our testing team,” said Boomer Appleman, Vice President for Student Services. “This recertification reflects our commitment to providing reliable, student-focused services that support academic success and uphold the highest standards of integrity.”
The NCTA also expressed admiration for SJC’s commitment: “They are maintaining strong testing administration practices and delivering excellent service to students, professionals and community members.”
The SJC Testing Center offers a wide range of testing services, including academic exams, placement testing, certification exams and proctoring for external institutions, making it an essential resource for learners at every stage of their educational and professional journey.
