Membership is open to testing professionals in colleges, other post-secondary settings, and testing companies. NCTA has more than 700 members in the United States. Communication and professional development are promoted in numerous ways, including a newsletter, a listserv, an annual national conference, and more.

This site includes lists of conferences and testing centers, NCTA Professional Standards and Guidelines , and listing of testing centers across the country and abroad that are willing to provide proctoring services to students away from their campuses.
