INCC’s CRNI® Certification Receives NCCA Accreditation

The Infusion Nurses Certification Corporation (INCC) is proud to announce that its CRNI® certification program received accreditation through the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).

NCCA is the leader in setting quality standards and providing accreditation services to certification programs covering hundreds of professions and occupations. As the accrediting division of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE), NCCA has been serving the credentialing profession for over 30 years. NCCA aims to ensure the health, welfare, and safety of the public through the accreditation of a variety of certification programs that assess professional competency by using a peer review process to

• establish accreditation standards;
• evaluate compliance with the standards;
• recognize organizations/programs that demonstrate compliance; and
• serve as a resource on quality certification.

Accreditation was granted to the CRNI® certification program after NCCA’s peer-review process evaluated the program’s compliance with the strict accreditation standards developed by NCCA.

The INCC certification program has now achieved accreditation by the leading agencies in both the specialty nursing and general certification fields. Accreditation by the American Board of Specialty Nursing Certification (ABSNC), achieved in 2006, coupled with accreditation through NCCA, means that the public can feel confident that the CRNI® credential is a credible and valid tool in documenting the experience and knowledge of nurses practicing infusion therapy.
