What Is A Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC)?

As in many professions, persons engaging in the practice of vocational rehabilitation have the option of establishing credentials via independent credentialing agencies.  A CRC is a non–mandatory certification offered by the National Council of Rehabilitation Counselor Certification.  A person who has been credentialed as a CRC has met certain minimum experiential and academic requirements.  Persons holding CRC credentials are, as are licensed psychologists, required to engage in a stipulated amount of continuing education in order to maintain their certification.
