2020 Examinations in Review

Each year we publish an annual summary of results for all six of our credentialing examinations to inform the public, potential candidates, and those currently holding NBRC credentials.

Celebrating our 60th anniversary in 2020, we are proud to have credentialed almost 480,000 practitioners by the end of the year.

The link below contains two summaries. The first has 2020 data for examinations administered and credentials awarded, broken down by exam and credential. The second is a pass rate comparison of the last three years, for both new and repeat candidates.

On behalf of the Board and staff at the NBRC, we congratulate each individual who let excellence define them by achieving one or more of our credentials in 2020!
