NEW CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR LEARNING ASSISTANCE PROFESSIONALS

The NCLCA Board is excited to announce the Learning Center Leadership Certification (LCLC) program.

To this point, certification programs of individuals have been in place for tutoring programs and for tutors, but no certification was available to learning center professionals. NCLCA is pleased to offer certification that learning center professionals can "take with them" to whatever position and/or institution they choose.
This certification provides validation of individuals' expertise in the field of learning assistance through external and objective review. The program is flexible and designed to meet the different career paths and goals of learning assistance professionals. Besides providing a standard of credentialing and continuing professional development, certification can be used by learning center directors and learning assistance professionals as rewards and incentives for better performance appraisals and as part of benchmarking the attainment of staff members in reports to their institutions.

Please feel free to contact Lisa D'Adamo-Weinstein with any questions about the certification program and visit the NCLCA website at www.nclca.org and click on the new "Certification" link for more details. Consider pursuing LCLC!
