In 1995, the National Association of Programmers (NAP, the ARTof1) was formed. The primary
objectives of NAP were to become the voice of the profession, to establish both alternative and
complementary certification programs for IT professionals, to provide publishing opportunities
as well as association leadership positions for member professionals, and to provide an online
library for storage, reference and validation of members' e-Portfolios.
From the beginning, members worldwide have realized member-only discounts from major computer
suppliers, travel and hospitality discounts, as well as training discounts. Member volunteers
and NAP leadership have striven to make our Association the gold standard of certification,
both professional and reference validation for employers and potential employers. While
student members enjoy their membership status and look forward to full membership and the
NAP job bank which could land them a great job in the future.
NAP is a non-biased, non-platform specific body with established standards for certifications
based upon knowledge, education and experience gained. NAP has created a Professional Code of
Ethics which all members must adhere to.
NAP is the professional association for anyone in the computer/IT industry who
desires to excel in this industry and to provide a positive public awareness of what the professionals
in our industry provide.
We invite you to join NAP and join the thousands of other recognized IT professional working to
enhance and improve our industry in the 21st century.
