PTC can provide all administrative responsibilities involved in a testing process including: developing a Candidate Handbook of test information to be printed and distributed through the mail or downloaded from the Internet; processing candidate applications and fees; scheduling and arranging testing centers in cities throughout the United States and Canada as well as at special sites all over the world; providing secure test booklet printing; shipping and inventory of test materials; administering examinations; processing and reporting results; and preparing certificates.

PTC provides a range of services to individuals or organizations interested in self-assessment. PTC works with clients to first identify the self-assessment goals and then designs the most appropriate testing methodology to meet those goals. PTC offers the flexibility and technical capabilities essential to individualized self-assessment programs.  

Measurement of complex human thoughts and attitudes is essential to understanding behavior. Survey instruments can be invaluable tools for measuring satisfaction, opinions, and physical/psychological well-being. PTC has psychometricians, statisticians, form designers, and programmers on staff to provide everything a client might need to conduct a professional, well-executed survey.
