Frequently, I receive emails from students expressing their overwhelming sense of being inundated with information, leaving them unsure of where to start the process.
The initial step that everyone should take is to dedicate at least an hour to peruse the National Committee on Accreditation's website here. As rules and policies undergo frequent changes, obtaining the most up-to-date information directly from the source is essential.
Next, consider joining the largest Facebook group for NCA students. I founded this group nearly a year ago, and through hard work, it has amassed over 1800 members at the time of writing this post. Within this group, you will find inquiries posed by NCA students along with responses from various individuals. Nonetheless, exercise caution when relying on advice from online sources and conduct thorough research before making decisions based on such advice. For example, there was an instance where a student failed their criminal exam three times before finally passing it on the fourth attempt and subsequently started offering advice on how to pass the exam. It's probably best to avoid taking advice from such individuals.
Additionally, reading through this blog can be beneficial. I strive to post regularly here to dispel some of the misconceptions circulating about the NCA process. Moreover, you can join my personal tutoring groups on both Facebook and LinkedIn, where I directly answer questions from other NCA candidates.
For those feeling overwhelmed and stressed about the process, it's best to take a step back, compose yourselves, and proceed with the NCA process at your own pace. Remember, you have at least 5 years to complete the assignments listed on your NCA assessment report. Some students may feel comfortable completing them all in one exam sitting, while others may prefer to take a more gradual approach over several years. Ultimately, the decision is yours to make, and by now, you should have a good understanding of what you are capable of achieving.
