The NCC Certification carries no licensing authority. The ability to practice as a health care professional is regulated by the state, and while Certification may be required in some states for specific health care roles, NCC has no regulatory power to require states to recognize NCC Certification for this purpose. Practice and educational standards are reflected in the Certification process, but the responsibility for development of such standards rests with the professional specialty organizations and the educational community.
