IMPORTANT CHANGE TO NCRA'S TESTING PROGRAM
NCRA to Offer More Opportunities and Sites to Take Written Knowledge Test
NCRA certifications have set the standard for excellence since 1935, becoming perhaps the most valuable membership benefit. In order to meet member requests for more tests, more sites, more chances to become certified, and more convenience, NCRA has partnered with leading professional electronic testing company Pearson VUE to offer the NCRA Written Knowledge Tests (RPR, RMR, RDR, CCP, CBC, and CLVS) in a computer-based format beginning in October 2007.
