Encyclopedia of Counseling Practice Test

National Counselor Examination is the licensing exam used by many state boards for professional counselor licensure. It is administered by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) and serves as the standard assessed knowledge for becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). The other options aren’t the official exam name: CACREP is an accrediting body for counseling programs, not an exam; LPC/NCC credentials refer to licensure and certification, not the test itself; and NBCC licensure exam is not the formal name of the exam (the exam is specifically the National Counselor Examination).
