What is the purpose of the NCCA?

The purpose of the NCCA, or the National Commission for Certifying Agencies, is primarily to publish standards for the accreditation of certification programs. This organization provides a framework that ensures certification programs are valid, reliable, and respectful of best practices in assessing qualifications in various fields, including those related to construction and roofing. By establishing these standards, NCCA ensures that certified professionals possess the knowledge and skills necessary to perform effectively in their roles.

While developing roofing materials, organizing workshops, and implementing quality assurance processes are all valuable activities in the roofing industry, they fall outside the direct scope of the NCCA. Instead, the NCCA focuses on enhancing the credibility of certification programs, which ultimately supports the professional development and recognition of individuals within their respective fields.
