Course Material Author

National Board for Certified Counselors
The National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc. and Affiliates (NBCC), an independent not-for-profit credentialing body for counselors, was incorporated in 1982 to establish and monitor a national certification system, to identify those counselors who have voluntarily sought and obtained certification, and to maintain a register of those counselors. NBCC's certification program recognizes counselors who have met predetermined standards in their training, experience, and performance on the National Counselor Examination for Licensure and Certification (NCE), the most portable credentialing examination in counseling. NBCC has approximately 40,000 certified counselors. These counselors live and work in the US and over 50 countries. NBCC examinations are used by more than 40 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam to credential counselors on a state level.
