The Commission provides information and assistance to
national associations on development and improvement
of certification programs in numerous professions and
occupations.
Members consist of 150 associations offering more than
300 categories. The Commission is non-governmental,
not operated by a management firm, nor is affiliated with
product vendors; and offers objective, responsive, and
cost-effective advice to better serve your association.

all certification staff. ACA, BCA, CCA, DCA, and ECA
designations are available for certification administrators
and committee members. There
are code of conduct
pledges for certification and association administrators.

Members (associations and individuals) receive
monthly
the newsletter "Certification Communications"
containing
relevant articles and legal
columns. In addition, there are
