CPC annual reports
Year in review
Released by the Commission on Paraoptometric Certification (CPC), the Year-in-Review report assures that the examinations are compliant with NCCA standards and assists CPC in identifying trends, targeting audiences, and ensuring that the examinations are reliable. Additionally, the metrics are valuable to stakeholders as they identify potential training opportunities, personal development, and identify target demographic audiences for marketing purposes.

Job task analysis
The CPC regularly undertakes a job task analysis (JTA) study, with the assistance of the Professional Testing Corporation (PTC), to delineate the tasks and knowledge areas involved in the paraoptometric profession. The results are used in the evaluation and possible revision of the content specifications for paraoptometric certification examinations.
