Association of Test Publishers Asia Division (A-ATP)

ATP is a global, nonprofit organization representing providers of tests and assessment tools and/or services related to assessment for clinical, occupational, certification, licensure, educational or other similar professional measurement uses. ATP members are the leading publishers and assessment service providers in today's testing industry who are committed to encouraging international strategies which advance the position of the industry, its technology, and the science that supports it. A-ATP is the sixth division for the Association of Test Publishers (ATP). The creation of A-ATP is for ATP to meet the local needs and interests of the Asian test publishing and test delivery community and to ensure that the Asian test publishing community participates in ATP activities that have global importance and relevance. The desired outcome sees A-ATP joining the test publishing communities of North America and Europe to form a strong foundation with a common global position and policy on testing issues (e.g., intellectual property protection, privacy, best practices for all forms of testing, cultural adaptation of tests, interoperability and innovated testing methods and procedures).
