National Test Center (NTC) Establishment
Establish a National Test Center (NTC)
National Test Centers (NTCs)
are a convenient option for service members looking to take a CLEP or DSST exam through the
Credit-by-Exam program
.
NTCs are local or on-base colleges or universities that offer academic testing for DANTES-funded service members. DANTES funds the exam and sitting fees for tests taken at all on-base NTCs, as well as those local NTCs identified as
Fully-Funded
.
Military education centers interested in establishing an on-base NTC should coordinate with a college/university, the base Commanding Officer, and DANTES. European Region NTCs and all other Overseas NTCs may contact DANTES for more information about the program.
