Designation as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) shows colleagues and the public that you have voluntarily met high national standards for the general practice of counseling by becoming nationally certified with NBCC. In addition to resources NBCC provides to the counseling profession and to the public, a number of resources are made available for applicants, including specific information for student applicants and for department faculty interested in offering the NCC application opportunity to their well-advanced master’s-level students.
