CCPDT now NCCA Accredited Many schools teach dog trainers and offer certification for their specific programs. These certificates, therefore, reflect the teachings and quality of a specific school. Other organizations offer take-home tests for certification. These tests are not monitored, nor are the testing processes standardized, or checked by a psychometrician. The CCPDT offers INDEPENDENT certification to animal training and behavior professionals. All certificants must earn continuing education units to maintain their designations. The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers recently earned accreditation by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE) through their National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) for both its Certified Professional Dog Trainers - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and Certified Behavior Consultant Canine - Knowledge Assessed (CBCC-KA) certifications. THIS IS THE ONLY DOG TRAINER AND CANINE BEHAVIOR CERTIFICATION PROGRAM TO EARN ACCREDITATION BY NCCA! In order to achieve this milestone, CCPDT had to demonstrate compliance with the strict standards set by NCCA. This evaluation examined all aspects of our program including administrative procedures, role delineation studies, test development, test security, standard setting, policies, board responsibilities, eligibility criteria, recertification practices, psychometric reviews, and verification of reliability and validity of the credentials. It was a rigorous process that took many months, but CCPDT now has the satisfaction of knowing that we meet the highest standards within the credentialing industry stated Bradley Phifer, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KSA, President of CCPDT.
