National Blindness Professional Certification Board

Process

Each training center must apply to the NBPCB for approval status. At least one member of the board of directors of the NBPCB and a second person designated by the board member will make a site visit to the orientation center to perform evaluation duties. The team will conduct an evaluation of the program based on the agency approval evaluation checklist. An orientation center that meets these standards will be granted approval status. Continued approval is contingent upon follow up evaluation by he NBPCB on a annual basis. An agency that is not granted approval will be provided with the written report which shows the center’s areas for needed improvement.
