Nature of Business
CTC/Canadian Test Centre Inc. is a wholly Canadian-owned and
operated educational assessment service and publisher. CTC has
developed three nationally standardized tests: Canadian Achievement
Tests, Canadian Test of Cognitive Skills and Canadian
Achievement Survey Tests for Adults. These tests are widely
used by schools and colleges across Canada and outside Canada
where a Canadian curriculum is taught.
Since 1980, CTC has acquired broad experiences in publishing,
project management and large-scale data management. CTC has provided
educational assessment services at the federal, provincial and
district levels, as well as to colleges in both the public and
private sectors.
Current major publishing projects that are in the development process include CAT·4, the newest version of the Canadian Achievement Tests, and Insight, a test of cognitive abilities. CAT·4 is scheduled for release in Fall 2008, and Insight in January 2010.
The CTC office is situated in Markham, ON. Demonstrated through decades of educational innovation and hard work, the CTC staff is committed to making a difference for educators across the nation. Though CTC has encountered subtle changes through its many years of existence, some key virtues and principles have remained foundational to our company; these are outlined in our mission statement.
Mission Statement
As an educational assessment service owned and operated by Canadian
educators to service the educational community, CTC will:
- publish and distribute only test products of the highest
quality;
- support teachers to make full use of assessment data;
- continue to invest in Canadian research and development projects
which aim to improve the measurement and evaluation of student
ability and achievement.
