What Is NCCA Accreditation?Becoming NAMSS certified has reached beyond NAMSS and our profession. NAMSS is an NCCA Accredited Program — accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies, an impartial, third-party that set the standards for certification program practices and administration. By holding an accredited certification, you demonstrate to your employer, the MSP community, and to yourself, that you he the skills and knowledge required to complete your job as defined by the leading authority in the credentialing industry.
NCCA Accredited Programs are in compliance with the NCCA Standards for Accreditation of Certification Programs in the following areas:

Who Develops the NAMSS Certification Programs?The Certification Commission of NAMSS (CCN) uses the standards set forth by the NCCA and ICE to develop and administer the CPCS and CPMSM credential examinations.
Serving the community for over 40 years, the CCN is the independent certifying body of NAMSS, which is responsible for establishing policies and procedures that govern NAMSS certification and recertification programs, as well as coordinating test development activities in accordance with NCCA standards.
CCN members are not NAMSS instructors or NAMSS staff. They are MSPs and experts in their field who feel passionately about developing benchmarking standards for the profession. The CCN maintains the integrity of the examination process by ensuring its independence from organization operations and that at least one commission seat is held by a public member as the voice of the public certification stakeholders.
