Value of NCCA-accreditation featured in Washington Post article

An article featured in the Washington Post on January 4, 2021 highlights the importance of certification from an NCCA-accredited organization. A sample of the article mentions:

"Given the dizzying number of certifications, it’s hard to know which ones are high-quality. According to Neric, any certification from an NCCA-accredited organization is a safe bet. Read, who has researched many programs and has obtained multiple certifications, says the NCCA is the “gold standard,” because of the rigor required to obtain its recognition; organizations much prove their programs do not “teach to the test” and must require continuing education."
