What is the difference between a license and a national certification?
Licenses are offered by a state government and a national credential (NCC, ACS, CRC) is offered by national professional credentialling bodies. The national counselor exam is used in some states as a licensure exam, but in New York we have the clinical mental health counselor exam as our licensure exam.
