National Council for Certifying Agencies (NCCA)

The National Council for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) is an organization that sets standards for professional certification programs. It evaluates and accredits organizations that develop tests to ensure they are fair, valid, and consistent. By doing so, NCCA helps ensure that certifications in various fields—like health, finance, or technology—are reliable indicators of someone’s expertise and competence. Accreditation by the NCCA signifies that a certification program meets high-quality standards, providing confidence to employers, consumers, and professionals that the certification is meaningful and trustworthy.
