KCNH Graduates pre-qualify for Board Certification

Learn how KCNH graduates can pursue AANWP board certification, including steps, benefits, and how their KCNH education aligns with credentialing requirements.

What is Board Certification?  The designation of “Certified” is given to someone who has been interviewed or tested for his/her knowledge in a specific field. Today the most sought-after designation is “Board Certification,” though it can be difficult to find a reputable organization, association, or Society that has high standards. All the aforementioned groups have various criteria which are used to grant certification. Most educational institutions grant someone a certificate when the individual earns a diploma, bachelors, masters, or doctorate degree; this is not a board certification, since educational institutions teach and graduate students, but do not “certify” graduates. The accepted standard is that upon graduating from an educational institution, a graduate applies for the designation of “Certified” or more often the designation of “Board Certified.” This status only is a recognition from a qualified organization of your accomplishments in your field. The designation of “Board Certification” means nothing if a recipient of this title has a legal suit brought against them. “Board Certification” does not give any rights or benefits to a practitioner under State law, especially legalizing what a practitioner does and says.
