NCCA Accreditation Renewed 2016

M

NCCA Accreditation for the MT-BC certification program was granted for another five year period, through November 30, 2016. Many thanks are owed to Joy Schneck, CBMT Executive Director, for completing the 5-year renewal application for this national accreditation.

any certificants may ask, what is NCCA and its parent organization, ICE? ICE is the Institute for Credentialing Excellence. Based in Washington, D.C., ICE is a membership organization that provides a forum for all types of practitioners and organizations interested in competency assurance and certification. ICE is the only national organization that focuses on certification of practitioners in a variety of professions and occupations. Its members include certification organizations, professional associations, employers, educators, test development companies and consultants, state licensing boards, federal agencies, and consumer groups. Through its annual educational conferences and workshops, ICE provides access to expertise in certification, licensure and testing, as well as information about the state-of-the-art in the credentialing arena. CBMT continues to be involved with ICE and NCCA, the National Commission for Certifying Agencies, for a number of important reasons. First, NCCA accreditation is recognition that the CBMT’s programs meet the highest standards for national certification programs. Accreditation demonstrates to certificants, employers,

government agencies, payors, courts, and professional organizations that an impartial, objective commission has reviewed the MT-BC program of certification administered by CBMT. This impartial, objective review is particularly important for organizations like the CBMT that are structured to be independent from professional associations and have protection of the public as part of its mission. Accreditation and adherence to NCCA standards are an important check and balance for the CBMT Board of Directors to assure that the CBMT programs reflect the most current principles in the field of credentialing. Accreditation also shows licensure boards that the CBMT programs meet or exceed the same standards to which licensing boards adhere to in test development and administration. CBMT’s MT-BC program has held this accreditation since 1986 when it was granted initial accreditation by NCCA. NCCA’s Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs exceed the requirements set forth by the American Psychological Association and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. CBMT is proud of this accomplishment and the programs it has developed to remain in compliance with these rigorous standards.
