History behind the ACS:
The ACS was originally started by NBCC in 1997. In January 2001, the ACS was transitioned to CCE to open the certification to mental health professionals who have obtained licensure or certification in a related discipline. Under NBCC, only NCCs were able to qualify for the certification.

Purposes of the ACS Credential:
