- Three divisions
- Objective testing

What is BPA management software?
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 — from membership and dues through WSAP competitive events, judging, testing, and 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 it covers
- Member rosters and dues across Middle Level, Secondary, and Post-secondary divisions
- Regional, State, and National Leadership Conference registration
- WSAP events in Finance, Business Administration, Management Information Systems, Digital Communication and Design, Management, Marketing and Communication, and Health Administration
- Judge coordination with rubric-based scoring
- Objective test delivery with proctoring
- Torch Awards progress tracking, placements, and published results
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
Run Regional, State, and National Leadership Conferences with tiered registration, payment collection, session scheduling, and fast check-in. See every chapter's attendees, housing assignments, and outstanding balances from one screen.
Reporting
Pull WSAP results, membership numbers, Torch Awards progress, and conference attendance whenever you need them. Create reports for your board, export data for state CTE reporting, and compare performance year over year across every chapter.
