Practicing counselors face challenges when they seek access to educational materials that prepare them with all of the required knowledge components needed to apply for the Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACE) credential.

This credential is available from the Center for Credentialing & Education (CCE), a corporate affiliate of the National Board for Certified Counselors. UNC Greensboro’s Department of Counseling and Educational Development developed a 45-hour continuing education training to provide these components. The project was a collaborative venture among five faculty members in the Counseling and Educational Development Department, the Division of Continual Learning (who worked with the faculty to develop a state of the art online training), and SERVE Inc. (who administers the course, provides students with support, and oversees finances).
