Castleport Test Prep

Independence and Non-Affiliation

Castleport Test Prep is independent — and here is exactly what that means.

Castleport Test Prep is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected to any organization that owns, develops, administers, or scores the examinations we cover. That includes, without limitation:

  • The National Healthcareer Association (NHA), which develops and administers the NHA certification examinations discussed on this site
  • The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB), which develops the ASWB social-work licensing examinations discussed on this site
  • The American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA), which awards the CMA credential
  • American Medical Technologists (AMT), which awards the RMA credential
  • The National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT), which administers the NCMA certification examination
  • The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB), operating under the NPCB brand, which administers the Family Nurse Practitioner certification examination
  • The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), which administers the NAPLEX examination discussed on this site
  • PSI, Pearson VUE, and other testing vendors
  • State licensing boards and certification bodies

Exam names, credential acronyms, organization names, and provider names are used descriptively to identify the examinations and services our independent materials discuss. Castleport claims no ownership in those names or marks, and use of a name never implies endorsement.

Why independence matters

Because we are independent, our only obligation is to you: our facts are verified against official sources rather than dictated by a partner, and our practice material is judged only on whether it prepares you well. The flip side of independence is a duty we take seriously — official information always outranks us. For registration, eligibility, scheduling, fees, and policies, the exam owner’s official website is the authority, and we link to it rather than trying to replace it.

Financial disclosure

Castleport earns revenue in exactly one way: selling our own study systems. We do not run advertising, accept sponsorships from exam owners or schools, or earn affiliate commissions for steering you toward any exam, program, or vendor. When we compare credentials — as in our CMA vs CCMA vs RMA guide — we have no financial stake in which one you choose.
