Sharing Your Certificate

Put your NCRC to use by sharing your achievement with potential or current employers. To protect your privacy, ACT does not release any information until you have authorized it. In order for employers to verify your NCRC, you must:

• Create a free MyWorkKeys.com account.*

• Make your certificate public.

• Place your NCRC achievement details on your resume or job application.

• Add information about your NCRC on your resume or job application to enable employers and human resources managers to verify that you have earned the certificate and possess the work skills needed for success.

There are two ways to get your certificate:

1. Your assessment provider pays for and provides the certificate to you.

2. Your assessment provider does not provide the NCRC to you, so you create a free account on MyWorkKeys.com,* gaining access to your score transcripts and your NCRC achievement details.

*NOTE: It is possible a MyWorkKeys.com account was already created for you. If so, you may have received a physical certificate or an email that contains the information you need to access your MyWorkKeys.com account. Please see Accessing Your Pre-Created Account Quick Start Guide (PDF)
