Incorporated in 1975 and governed by a board of directors, NCC's certification program is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), the accreditation body of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence.[1] By 2009, NCC had awarded over 95,000 certifications and certificates of added qualification.
