There are two fees associated with accreditation by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). The first is an application fee that an organization must pay when submitting their initial accreditation application(s). The application fee is on a per program basis.
Once a program is accredited, all organizations with 1 or more accredited programs must pay a yearly accreditation fee, which includes their membership fees for the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). Please see the two fee schedules below.
