CTSO Management Software
The modern platform for career and technical student organizations
CTSO Central is management software built for DECA, FBLA, HOSA, SkillsUSA, TSA, FCCLA, and every career and technical student organization. Membership, conferences, competitive events, online testing, judging, and analytics in one platform.
CTSO Central is a management platform built specifically for career and technical student organizations (CTSOs). It gives state directors, association staff, and chapter advisors one place to manage members, run conferences, administer competitive events, coordinate judges, deliver online exams, collect dues, and see real-time results. No more patching together separate tools for registration, scoring, and reporting. Clearpoint Business Group, the team behind CTSO Central, has worked alongside CTSOs since 2015.
What you get
Everything your organization needs to operate
From membership and dues to competitions and conferences, CTSO Central covers the full scope of running a career and technical student organization.
Membership and chapters
See every member, advisor, and chapter in one place. CTSO Central mirrors your organization's structure, from individual school chapters through state and national offices. Automate renewals, collect dues, and let advisors manage their own rosters.
Conferences
Run regional, state, and national conferences from registration to departure. Manage attendee types, collect payments, schedule sessions, coordinate housing, and check people in with a quick scan. Every chapter's status is visible at a glance.
Competitive events
Administer any event format your organization runs. Set up scoring sections and rounds, bring in exam scores automatically, calculate placements, and publish results when you are ready.
Judging
Judges get a clean, guided experience on any phone, tablet, or laptop. They see the rubric, score each criterion, leave feedback, and move on. Scores save automatically and sync in real time.
Online testing
Deliver practice exams and competition exams with the right level of security for each situation. Proctors can monitor every session in real time, and students get a focused, distraction-free testing experience.
Reporting and dashboards
Pull placement reports, membership summaries, and conference attendance whenever you need them. Build dashboards for your board, export data for state CTE reporting, and track growth across every chapter.
Integrations
Connect CTSO Central to the tools you already use, including Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate, Slack, and Apperson DataLink scanners. A developer API is also available for custom integrations.
AI content detection
Written event submissions are automatically checked for AI-generated content. A content integrity dashboard shows which files are clean, which are flagged, and which are still being reviewed.
