After completing the pre-requisite NCVAN academy, graduates may seek provisional licensing and certification on the national level through NOVA/NACP.

Through NCVAN’s partnership with the North Carolina Justice Academy, law enforcement officers who complete the training and certification may receive continuing education credits. The training also counts towards fulfillment with requirements set forth by the Council for Women (for DV/SA programs and Child Advocacy Centers).

PARTICIPANTS:
NCVAN’s Academy participants represent a diverse group of allied professionals. Our students are law enforcement officers – military personnel – therapists – court officials – clergy – victim advocates – to name a few. In this way, the academy is a blended learning experience. Networking brings valuable connections that benefit participants well beyond the completion of the certification.
PREREQUISITES FOR ACCEPTANCE:
To become eligible for certification upon completion of the Academy, students are expected to have had -at least- 6 months of experience from a state-recognized program. Applicants who do not yet meet these requirements may be considered on a case-by-case basis for the training itself until the prerequisite has been met. For this reason, applicants are sometimes encouraged to apply to a future upcoming Academy to assure this requirement is met.
Not all community-based non-profit victim service agencies are state-recognized. To determine if a program is state-recognized in North Carolina, advocates from community-based, non-profit victim advocacy programs can click to consult the following program lists by county or region: domestic violence programs, sexual assault programs, child advocacy centers.
