APPLICATION FOR NATIONAL COUNSELOR EXAMINATION
The National Counselor Examination (NCE) is an online process. Instructions on submitting an application to take the NCE are listed below.

The paper application form will be available to those that have limited or no access to the internet.

2. Click on the "ProCounselor" tab.
3. Applicant must enter email address and password. If registering for the first time, an account will have to be created.
4. Applicant will need to Create an Account if this is the first time the applicant has registered to take the NCE. Follow the instructions on the page to create an account or log in based upon previous registration. NOTE: The Committee for Professional Counselors does not have information regarding the email address or password associated with the applicant's registration.
5. Follow the instructions to complete the online registration process and submit payment.
The applicant's online registration will be electronically exported to Pearson Vue (examination administrator). If you experience a problem, please contact the Center for Credentialing & Education at 336/482-2856.
