Who will set the standards for the CCO certification?
ACCO hopes to create its certification program in cooperation with a nationally recognized test development and administration company that is well acquainted with the standards of the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) in order to ensure that the standards applied will meet or exceed the requirements set forth by the NCCA. Together with a group of experts in a wide-range of climate change related issues, a thorough job analysis will be conducted to delineate and validate the primary domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills of the certified professional. ACCO will begin testing in the third quarter of 2009.
