No, our trademarked credentials must not be used if certification has lapsed or has not been earned. This is considered fraudulent use of a credential. Exams must be successfully passed in order to begin using the earned credential(s). If you are aware of fraudulent use of a WOCNCB credential, this should be reported immediately. Please visit the Credential Review & Appeals section of this website to review procedures.
