Applicants

The Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) sets the standard for quality rehabilitation counseling services in the United States and Canada. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, the CRCC has certified more than 35,000 counselors with its widely recognized Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) designation.

The CRCC developed its credentialing process in an effort to protect the public. Persons who earn the designation of Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) must demonstrate that they are of good moral character, meet acceptable standards of quality in their practice, and have the requisite education and professional background. To become certified, rehabilitation counselors must meet stringent eligibility requirements including advanced education and work experience, and must achieve a passing score on the CRC examination. To maintain the CRC designation, certificants must renew their certification every 5 years via continuing education or re-examination.
