AdminHistoryThe British Psychological Society’s Psychological Testing Centre (PTC) provides information and services relating to standards in tests and testing for test takers, test users, test developers and members of the public.

Through the PTC, the British Psychological Society (BPS) sets standards in testing, provides nationally recognised qualifications in test use, and provides independent reviews of psychological tests used in occupational and educational settings. The PTC website features a wide range of guidelines on testing and test use.

The British Psychological Society is the leading national organisation for setting standards in psychological testing. It directs the work of the PTC through the Committee on Test Standards (CTS), whose role is to set, promote and maintain standards in testing.

In 1991 a certificate of competence in occupational testing was launched.
