Testing Panel

The American Association of State Counseling Boards (AASCB), acting on vote of the membership (January 2000), established a partnership with the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) to standardize licensure testing and enhance portability, with the overall goal of protecting the health and welfare of the public.

The AASCB Executive Committee appointed experienced AASCB counselor/counselor educators to the Testing Panel, to serve as independent consultants to NBCC for test development of the National Counselor Examination (NCE) and National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Examination (NCMHCE) as well as serve as consultants to AASCB member boards.
