National Association of Certified Computer Professionals
NACCP
CHARTER & STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The National Association of Certified Computer Professionals
(NACCP) is dedicated to allowing for uniform testing and
certification of professionals in various facets of the computer
industry.
We also believe that a person should receive credit for knowledge
acquired through experience as well as formal education.
The NACCP allows consumers a means of evaluating computer
professionals and is dedicated to establishing a uniform code of
ethics and standards within the computer industry.
NACCP Q&A HOT LINE
The NACCP Q&A Hot Line allows all members access to an open
forum where they may leave questions on specific problems they
may have encountered, leave tips for others or leave questions or
comments for Advisory Board Members in any of the discussion
areas offered.
Certification tests are open to members as well as non-member
computer professionals or non-professionals who are seeking
certification.
The processing fee for any test is $25 for members and $75 for
non-members. Tests are processed through the NACCP Bulletin Board

Membership is open to any person who shares
the association's concern for a furthering of
ethics and standards within the computer
industry and recognizes the benefit of a
standard of certification for computer profes-
sionals.
NACCP
The tests are design to allow for a testing of an individual's
level of expertise in a given area. No test is meant to be a
complete diagnosis of each person's skills. The tests test a
certain level of PRACTICAL knowledge and are not meant to delve
too deeply into a subject nor are they meant to just skim the
surface.
WHAT CERTIFICATION MEANS TO YOU
NACCP Certification is recognized by many employers and gives them a
means of evaluating current employees for raises as well as new
applicants for positions requiring computer skills.
For the independent professional certification by the NACCP means that
clients and the general public can be assured of your qualifications
in your area of expertise.
The general public and employers alike are becoming wary of
individuals who profess to possess skills in computer related areas
since many of the general public do not feel comfortable in their own
knowledge of computers they appreciate a means of evaluating a
prospective employee, or vendor of services, skills.
The tests are designed to evaluate a person's general knowledge in the
specified area and are designed by some of the nations top
professionals in their fields. Though the tests are not easy most
members seem to agree that they are not difficult for one who does
understand the particular area of computer skills covered.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
First, you are listed with the NACCP as being certified in your
area(s) of expertise and are then included on any lists of certified
professionals which are sent in response to inquiries in your area of
the country.
Second, you receive an 8 1/2 by 11 Certificate suitable for framing
which you can proudly display at your place of business which will be
mailed to you within 14 days of completing a test.

We at the NACCP are looking forward to adding your name to our list of
Certified Computer Professionals who are qualified to serve the public
in a professional and responsible manner.
