    Important Note About ICE Membership

     

    An organization may join ICE at any time whether or not it has any programs accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). Although ICE supports the NCCA accreditation program, ICE does not require its members to have their programs accredited. ICE is a membership organization serving the entire credentialing community.

     

    Non-Member Registration

    Non-Member Organizations: If your organization is interested in the credentialing industry, you may register as a non-member organization in order to receive email updates.  Organizations that are not members but which plan to apply for NCCA accreditation of one or more of its certification programs may also use this option to create a group account.  Non-member registration does not entitle your organization to membership services or benefits but you may join ICE as a member at a later date.
