More than 215,000 licensed health care professionals have been awarded prestigious NCC credentials since its inception in 1975.

NCCA uses a peer review process to establish accreditation standards; evaluate compliance with the standards; recognize programs which demonstrate compliance and serve as a resource on quality certification. The standards address all facets of the program activities from governance, development, interaction with stakeholders, psychometric integrity of the certification process to certification maintenance efforts.
