The accredited world leader.
Since 1981, the International Credentialing & Reciprocity Consortium – IC&RC – protected the public by establishing standards and facilitating reciprocity for professionals since 1981. Today, IC&RC represents over 50,000 certified professionals from 78 credentialing and licensing boards worldwide whose reciprocal agreements cover 25 countries, 47 US and territories, and three branches of the US military. Professionals who hold eligible certifications or licences can transfer them between these jurisdictions.
Quality and integrity are the visible foundation of IC&RC’s work. Its products use the latest research on evidence-based practices, and they are updated every five years and subjected to an extensive process of peer review. This is why clients and employers trust the qualification in professionals they seek to work with.
Displaying your certificate prominently and using the logo on professional materials can help you gain greater professional recognition, enhance your reputation and confirm your proficiency.
IC&RC’s credentials include Alcohol and Drug Counsellor (ADC), Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counsellor (AADC), Clinical Superviser (CS), Prevention Specialist (PS), Certified Criminal Justice Addictions Professional (CCJP), Certified Co-Occurring Disorders Professional (CCDP), Certified Co-Occurring Disorders Professional Diplomate (CCDPD) and Peer Recovery (PR).
IC&RC standards and exams are used exclusively by IC&RC Boards, with each Board independently run within their own jurisdictionally specific processes. If you want to take an exam or earn a credential, contact the board in your jurisdiction. Interested readers can access UK Board details soon at http://www.internationalcredentialing.org.uk.
