SUGAR GROVE – Waubonsee’s Learning Assessment and Testing Services have been awarded National College Testing Association (NCTA) Testing Center Certification.

A letter from the NCTA president describes the test centers – located at the Sugar Grove, Aurora and Plano campuses – as “exemplary” and states that Waubonsee is “among the few test centers to receive this distinction.”

Kathy Lentz, Testing Services Manager, said Waubonsee sought the certification because it affirms the testing center’s high professional standards.

“We now have validation by an external agency and it shows that we adhere to best practices and the highest integrity standards in the industry,” she said.

Lentz added that there are only 80 testing centers in the country that have received the certification, and that each of Waubonsee’s three testing centers had to be certified separately.

“So this is a high distinction for us to have achieved,” she said.
