Viewpointe Partners with ECCHO for National Check Payments Certification Program (NCPC)
Invest in Yourself and Your Institution. The NCPC program reflects the rapid evolution of the United States check system in recent years. To achieve NCPC certification, you’ll need to demonstrate thorough knowledge of all aspects of the United States check payment system, plus a general understanding of how the check payment system relates to other United States payment systems. This includes a working knowledge of how major exchange rules, relevant federal laws and other factors apply to check-based products and operations. The NCPC certification exam is offered once annually by ECCHO. Viewpointe is currently one of a limited number of organizations that have been approved to provide this training. By choosing Viewpointe, you will learn from highly experienced payments industry professionals that have been certified by ECCHO to provide this training.

Preparation Options
Viewpointe offers a rigorous education curriculum, designed to accommodate professionals of varying experience and expertise. If you are planning to take the NCPC exam in 2013, we strongly suggest signing up for this review course specifically designed to help you prepare for this test. Because the review session is primarily focused on the exam rather than offering foundational payments training, you may find it valuable to enroll in Viewpointe’s check certification program, too. Even if you have extensive experience in check payments processing, this course offers an excellent refresher that can help you better focus your study. Classes within our certification programs may be taken either individually or as a series.
While the check certification program is not a necessary first step before taking the NCPC review course, Viewpointe recommends taking this approach to gain comprehensive preparation support.
Viewpointe helps make educational programs affordable. Discounts are available for association members and for certification class series. Save money while investing in your future!
