1The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) is a leading provider of specialized credentials in the fields of cognitive disorders and neurodivergence. The Autism Certification requires at least 14 hours of continuing education relating to autism. MECC’s program will provide those credit hours, after which students may elect to take the online Autism Certificate Competency Exam. Please note there is an exam fee charged by IBCCES that is not affiliated with MECC. Upon passing the exam, students will receive a certification number, a printed certificate, a wallet ID card, a digital badge, and the student will be listed in the International Registry as an Autism Certificate holder. The IBCCES certification, while valued by employers, is not required by MECC and will not impact completion of MECC’s degree.
