Individuals that successfully complete the NCDA Training Program are eligible to apply for the NCDA Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP) credential.
You may want to consider becoming an NCDA FCD Instructor and train others to become Career Services Providers.
The NCDA Continuing Education Manual
In particular, NCDA offers diverse opportunities in support of the NCDA Credentials. The approved continuing education is detailed in the Credentialing Commission's Continuing Education Manual.
Other Approvals
NCDA is an NBCC-Approved Continuing Education Provider (ACEP) and may offer NBCC-approved clock hours for events that meet NBCC requirements. Sessions for which NBCC-approved clock hours will be awarded are identified in each program booklet. The ACEP is solely responsible for all aspects of the program. NCDA hosts three NBCC-approved events each year: the annual conference and two regional institutes (CPI). All other professional development (webinars, state division meetings, etc.) are not NBCC approved, however, they are approved for NCDA related continuing education for those holding NCDA credentials (see the Manual).
Directory of Select Providers
The NCDA Directory of Select Continuing Education Providers can be used as a guide to choosing training opportunities and obtaining contact hours. Browse the listings of credentialed providers who applied and were approved for inclusion.
Continuing Education Records/Log
Record the approved activities that you attended in this CE Log. You will need to keep this form updated in case you are randomly selected for an audit. You must maintain proper documentation in your files (hard copies or scanned copies of certificates, agendas, letters, etc.) in the event of an audit of CE contact hours. If you are an NCDA member, your CE contact hours from NCDA conferences, Career Practitioner Institutes or webinars will be documented for you and available when you login to your NCDA member account (see below for obtaining credit).
