If you are looking to become a licensed counselor, then you will need to pass the National Counselor Exam (NCE). This exam is required in most states in order to become a registered or licensed counselor. The NCE is a challenging test, but with enough preparation, you can achieve success! Wondering how much the NCE exam costs? The National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) administers the 200-question multiple-choice exam. The NCE exam costs $275 USD.

When preparing for the NCE exam it is important to have a key understanding of everything that is going to be on the test. The NBCC has a comprehensive breakdown of the content areas that will be covered in the exam. You can find this information on their website.

In addition to studying the content areas, it is also important to take practice exams. Practice exams can be a helpful way for you to prepare for the NCE exam. Here at AATBS we offer live online workshops and self-study packages in order to help you prepare for the NCE exam.
