nexTEST

NCIC certification, administered statewide.

The market leader in training and tracking State and NCIC certification status, with workflows built around how each user type actually works.

Who administers it

Certification is administered by three distinct user types, each with its own workflow in nexTEST.

Full Admin

State administrators running certification across every agency in the state, and setting what each agency's admins are allowed to do.

Admin

Agency administrators, often the Terminal Agency Coordinator, managing certification for their own agency's personnel.

Assistant Admin

Assistant administrators who share user management and reporting for an agency.

The cycle

How does certification testing work in nexTEST?

Four stages that repeat on every certification cycle, for every person, across every agency in the state.

01

Assign

Assign training programs and tests to each user by role.

02

Test

Personnel take NCIC certification testing through the nexTEST platform, on their own schedule.

03

Certify

Certification status is recorded and visible to the agency's admins and to the state.

04

Renew

Expirations are tracked ahead of time so recertification happens before access lapses.

Built for scale

What does nexTEST give a state administrator?

Bulk control over certification for an entire state, and one place to see it alongside security awareness training.

Bulk operations across every agency

Manage certification across every agency in the state from one place, rather than agency by agency.

User and agency management

Full Admins add agencies and users, assign agency Admins, and decide exactly what each Admin can do — from view-only to full edit of user profiles, certification levels, expiration dates, and test history. Admins manage their own agency’s people and appoint Assistant Admins.

Course and test administration

Upload your own HTML5 training packages or PDFs and manage them through testing, live, and archived versions — only one version is ever live at a time. Build and edit tests too: questions and categories, how many questions to show, required questions, pass percentage, and time limit.

Integration with your message switch

nexTEST integrates with third-party message switch vendors for user account synchronization, certification date updates, and front-end authentication, so users and agencies stay current without anyone re-keying them.

One dashboard with CJIS Online

NCIC certification status and security awareness training status in the same view, so administrators managing users in both systems stop logging into two of them to answer one question.

Three distinct user types

Full Admin, Admin, and Assistant Admin are distinct user types, each with its own workflow.
