IMPORTANT CHANGE IN CCDC REQUIREMENTS!!  Keeping in line with current State requirements and most other ICRC member boards, MAPCB has changed the educational requirement for the CCDC from a master's to a bachelor's degree. MAPCB may offer a master's level credential in the future. In the meantime, those counselors who were seeking to fulfill the master's requirement to obtain a reciprocal credential can now use the bachelor's degree that qualifies them for the State CAC-AD credential. Call or email MAPCB to find out how to complete the process to become a CCDC!

LAPSED CREDENTIALS. Any previous holder of a CCDC with MAPCB who let their credential lapse no further back than January 1, 2001 may ask for a reinstatement provided certain criteria is met.  1) Proof of required CEU's for that lapsed time on a case by case basis, to be reviewed by MAPCB, or 2) proof of a current license/credential issued by the State of Maryland.  3) Pay $10 per lapsed month as well as the required $50 for the current year's certification.

THE NEXT WRITTEN EXAM will be held March 8, 2008.  Site to be selected. If you have taken the written exam and have chosen to go on for the reciprocal credential, begin preparing your case presentation now. Upon receipt of your passing score on the written exam, you may go ahead and submit your case presentation and fee to be scheduled to sit for the oral exam. For information on the value of the reciprocal credential, please go to the Certification page.
