The cost of the new NCRCP will be $150 for new credentialing applicants, $75 for renewal every two years.

The complete Application form requests information on the applicant’s training and experience in trauma and/or community crisis response. The deadline for submission will be end of February or end of August each year (i.e., there are two deadline dates each year). Applications are reviewed and processed in the month following submission (i.e., March and September of each year). Certificates and wallet cards are sent out by the end of March or September, whichever applies, and 32 hours of trauma-related continuing education will be required over the next two years for renewal.

Renewals of NCRCP Credentials
A complete new Application form will NOT be required. Renewal forms will simply ask for verification of a minimum of 32 hours of trauma-related continuing education during the previous two years. Simplified renewal forms are available online. The deadline for submission will be end of February or end of August each year (i.e., there are two deadline dates each year). Applications are reviewed and processed in the month following submission (i.e., March and September of each year). Certificates and wallet cards are sent out by the end of March or September, whichever applies. Renewing applicants receive a new certificate and wallet card by the end of March or September, whichever applies.
