For BPA
One place to run your BPA state association.
State advisors and chapter leaders coordinate the Workplace Skills Assessment Program across six assessment areas, manage membership in three divisions, and run conferences from regionals to the National Leadership Conference. CTSO Central brings it all together in one platform built around how BPA operates.
BPA management software is a platform that helps state associations and chapter advisors run the day-to-day operations of their Business Professionals of America program. This includes managing member rosters across Middle Level, Secondary, and Post-secondary divisions, collecting dues, registering attendees for Regional, State, and National Leadership Conferences, administering Workplace Skills Assessment Program (WSAP) events in Finance, Business Administration, Management Information Systems, Digital Communication and Design, Management, Marketing and Communication, and Health Administration, coordinating judges, delivering objective tests, tracking Torch Awards progress, calculating placements, and publishing results. Most state BPA associations currently piece this together using a combination of legacy tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes. CTSO Central is a purpose-built BPA management platform from Clearpoint Business Group that brings all of these capabilities into one system. It replaces the need for separate competition entry, testing, and membership tools with a single, modern interface that works on any device.
What you get
What does a BPA state association need from its management platform?
A BPA state association needs software that supports more than 90 WSAP events across three divisions. CTSO Central handles it all so your team can focus on students instead of logistics.
Multi-division membership
Manage BPA members and chapters across Middle Level, Secondary, and Post-secondary divisions in one place. Set different dues and permissions for each division, track renewals automatically, and let advisors manage their own chapter rosters without waiting on the state office.
Workplace Skills Assessment Program
Administer the full range of WSAP events across all six assessment areas. Handle objective tests, judged presentations, pre-submitted projects, and open events in one workflow. Set up scoring formats for individual and team events, calculate placements, and publish results when you are ready.
Judging
Judges get a straightforward scoring experience on any device. Whether they are evaluating a prepared speech, a presentation team event, a graphic design promotion, or a pre-submitted project, they see the rubric, score each criterion, and leave feedback. Scores save automatically and are available to your tabulation team in real time.
Objective testing
Deliver WSAP objective tests and practice exams with security settings that fit the stakes. Monitor active sessions in real time, and give students a clean, focused testing environment whether they are at a regional conference or taking a practice test from home.
Conferences
