Certification Criteria & Instructions

NOTICE: Change in National Gambling Counselor Certification Criteria

As of April 3, 2007 the National Gambling Counselor Certification Board (NGCCB) began requiring a Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent to meet the behavioral education requirement for certification. This ends and replaces the previous requirement of 300 hours of education from a behavioral health field.

All applications for gambling counselor certification received after midnight of April 3, 2007 are now subject to the new Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent requirements.
