What is NOCA and what is NCCA accreditation?
The National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA) is a national membership organization established to promote excellence in competency assurance for practitioners in all occupations and professions. The National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) is the accrediting body of NOCA. Established in 1977 under a federal directive from the Carter administration, NCCA’s mission is to help ensure the health, welfare, and safety of the public through the accreditation of certification programs that assess professional competence. DANB is a member of NOCA and is accredited by NCCA. NCCA accreditation means that DANB meets the highest standards to ensure validity, reliability, and objectivity in the testing process.
