NATSAP Announces NBCC Provider Status

NATSAP is thrilled to announce we’ve just received NBCC Approved Continuing Education Provider (ACEP) status!

The National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7272. Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified. The National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs. 

The National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc. and Affiliates (NBCC), is the largest counselor credentialing body in the United States. LPCs, LMHCs, LCPCs, and other state-credentialed counselors seek continuing education programs that offer NBCC continuing education credit.


As an ACEP, NATSAP is authorized to offer NBCC credit for Live Events, delivered in person or by electronic devices that permit the participant to communicate (E.g., Zoom, Google Meet, webinars and roundtables).


WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU!
NATSAP welcomes interested presenters to submit their presentations for review. The presentation must satisfy specific content requirements and must not include any prohibitions. Presentations will be reviewed by a NATSAP member-run committee and overseen by Mike Haarer, Compass Rose Academy.
