Nationally Recognized Testing Program (NRTP)

The Nationally Recognized Testing Program (NRTP) is a certification process established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that authorizes approved organizations to conduct aviation-related knowledge tests. Essentially, it allows certain qualified entities—such as flight schools and testing centers—to administer FAA exams for pilot licenses and other certifications. The NRTP ensures these testing centers meet strict standards for exam security, test administration, and accuracy, providing consistent and reliable assessments. This program helps streamline the certification process while maintaining high standards of safety and competency across the aviation industry.
