The IAHSS Board of Directors would like to thank the IAHSS Commission on Certification for their leadership and commitment to achieving the NCCA accreditation. In addition, the Board would like to thank IAHSS Past Presidents, past and present Board members, past and present Commission members, IAHSS members, IAHSS Chapter Leaders, item writers, volunteers and IAHSS staff for working in alignment to achieve this multi-year goal.

About NCCA
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 including governance, development, interaction with stakeholders, psychometric integrity of the certification process and certification maintenance. To date, NCCA has accredited more than 315 programs from 130 organizations.
NCCA was created in 1987 by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE) to help ensure the health, welfare, and safety of the public through the accreditation of certification and credentialing programs that assess professional competence. Certification and credentialing programs that receive NCCA Accreditation demonstrate compliance with the NCCA’s Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs.
