Application Directions:
To apply for consideration, please fill out the information below, then click "next" to proceed to each page. Any personal information needed is protected. If you are completing this on behalf of someone else, please list their information in the below contact forms.
Notice of Pending Acceptance:
Applicants should note that submitting this application - does not itself - constitute registration for the event. Registration takes place once an applicant has been officially approved. It may take up to 5 business days for the review process. Upon submission, the Training Team will first assure that the prerequisites are met for the applicant's particular discipline and that all documentation is included. If/once approved, the applicant is notified of the acceptance and is officially accepted and registered. If a criminal background check is required, NCVAN will contact the applicant.
Notice of Registration Withdrawal
Applicants should note that once approved into the training program, refunds are not available. Organizations are welcome to send a different staff member in the original participant's place, or apply the payment credit to a future Academy.
Notice of Full Participation:
To receive certification, participants must attend the entire training program, every session on every day. Working during virtual sessions of the Academy will be counted as an absence. By submitting the supervisor letter, the supervisor is consenting to the applicant's availability to attend. If an applicant does not complete the entire training, a certificate merely indicating the training hours is granted until the participant completes the associated curriculum necessary for certification. NCVAN does not automatically provide make-up sessions, but does grant access to future academies to acquire the missing topics and credit hours. Upon completing state certification through NCVAN, participants may opt to pursue national credentialing as well.
Components of the Application:
These items are required for submission: (1) Updated résumé, (2) Reference letter from a supervisor, (3) Reference letter from another professional, (4) Certification cost of $250.00
Reference Letters
There are two reference letters required for application submission: Reference letter from a supervisor and a professional.
