An equivalency is the demonstrated and documented ability to meet the competency Standards for the NACC which have been acquired in a way other than those specified in the Standards. An equivalent of one CPE unit (Standard 301.4) may be sought providing the Applicant demonstrates and documents that the competency areas outlined in the Standards have been satisfactorily addressed. These competencies must be attained through formal academic and/or accredited programs, which are educational, experiential, and supervised. The Equivalency Review Committee of the Certification Commission decides whether an equivalency request is granted or denied.
