The Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) is the world's largest rehabilitation counseling organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities. The organization sets the national standard in certification for rehabilitation counselors, providing leadership, education, advocacy, and supporting research. Since 1974, CRCC has set the standard for competent delivery of quality rehabilitation counseling services through its nationally accredited and internationally recognized Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) certification program. In addition, CRCC sets the standards for the following national certification programs; the Certified Vocational Evaluation Specialists certification (CVEs) and the national Certified Rehabilitation Leadership certification (CRL). We are proud to include the Diversity, Inclusive Leadership Certificate program. We strongly believe that an extensive competency in diversity, inclusion, and equality is an integral part of every individual’s approach to leadership.
