Voluntary and Mandatory Audits

• 10% of each recertification group is randomly chosen to have their continuing education activities audited.
• Notification of selection for mandatory audit will be included with the recertification form received by NCCs at the end of their five-year recertification period.
• These NCCs must submit copies of documentation for the 100 required hours of continuing education.
• Forms and payment must be returned with continuing education documents in order for recertification to be complete.

• NCCs who wish to receive recognition for their outstanding achievement in continuing education may elect to have their continuing education activities audited voluntarily.
• Voluntary audits are available to NCCs who have accrued 130 or more contact hours
• NCCs may apply for the Voluntary Recognition Audit during the last twelve months of their current five-year cycle, or the first twelve months following recertification.
• A $45.00 fee is required.
• Those NCCs who pass the audit will receive a certificate recognizing their commitment to continuing education in the field of counseling, a letter from the President and CEO, and notation in the NBCC newsletter.
• This process does not take the place of formal recertification.
