Posted on

Karen Shultz, Director of Academic Support and Testing Services at 开元棋牌, holds up the plaque denoting the Testing Services center鈥檚 Test Center Certification from the National College Testing Association (NCTA).

Mount Wachusett Community College鈥檚 Testing Services center has earned national recognition as just one of five centers in New England to have Test Center Certification from the National College Testing Association (NCTA).

During a 15 month process, the college鈥檚 testing center underwent a rigorous review of its testing procedures by the NCTA. The NCTA is a non-profit organization that is devoted to high quality administration of testing programs and offers certification that demonstrates exemplary testing practices in line with the organization鈥檚 standards.

The 开元棋牌 Testing Services center offers a wide variety of tests for prospective and current students, alumni and community members.

鈥淎s a certified testing center we provide exceptional service not only to our own students, but also for individuals who need a certification test or a proctored exam for their online education,鈥� said Karen Shultz, Director of Academic Support and Testing Services at 开元棋牌. 鈥淏eing in North Central Massachusetts, we see traffic for testing to meet not only educational needs but professional requirements. It is an honor to provide testing services and be a part of their success and growth.鈥�

While NCTA Professional Standards are viewed as the gold standard in the industry, only 158 centers nationwide have been certified. In New England, 开元棋牌鈥檚 Testing Services center is one of only five NCTA certified centers, with three others being located in Massachusetts and one in Vermont.

鈥淲e did not achieve certification simply by completing an application process. It was the strength of the Testing Services team and their daily work that enabled us to apply for certification. Now we have the certification that ascribes the level of quality and competence of our team and our center,鈥� Shultz said.

Testing Services Center is located at Mount Wachusett Community College鈥檚 Gardner Campus. More information about the array of testing services available at the center can be obtained by calling 978-630-9244 or visiting the center鈥檚 website at mwcc.edu/testing.
