Learning Center Leadership Certification
PURPOSE OF THE LEARNING CENTER LEADERSHIP CERTIFICATIONLCLC (Learning Center Leadership Certification) is a certification for YOU, a learning center professional, and is not tied to a certain center or university. LCLC provides individual learning assistance professionals a nationally-recognized credential and set of standards by which to foster their future growth and development. This certification provides validation of individuals' expertise in the field of learning assistance through external and objective review. The program is flexible and designed to meet the different career paths and goals of learning assistance professionals. Besides providing a standard of credentialing and continuing professional development, certification can be used by learning center directors and learning assistance professionals as rewards and incentives for better performance appraisals and as part of benchmarking the attainment of staff members in reports to their institutions. While there are four levels of certification, a first-time applicant can submit materials for certification at any of the four levels. Applicants do NOT have to start at Level One and work their way up. For example, if you can currently satisfy the criteria for Level Four, then please submit an application for Level Four. Additionally, you do not need to be a current member of ICLCA to be considered for certification through LCLC. All qualified professionals are encouraged to apply! Initial certification is valid for two full years, while renewals are valid for five full years.
