Recertification
The National Blindness Professional Certification Board (NBPCB) recognizes the need for blindness professionals to continue their education and training in order to remain current on innovations and policies in the field. Individuals who successfully achieve NCLB certification will retain valid certification status for five (5) years from the date printed on the original certificate. Once the initial certification has lapsed, the individual must reapply to the NBPCB for recertification in order to maintain active NCLB certification. The NBPCB Recertification Program is designed to ensure that certificants maintain their competence in reading and writing literary Braille. At the end of the five year period, an individual holding certification can only be recertified by successfully completing a new version of the NLBC examination. More information will be available soon. You may also contact the NBPCB office or check back at this webpage to see if this information has been updated.
