    The CAADC examination assesses advanced competencies including clinical supervision, program administration, and complex case management beyond the entry-level ADC scope.

  4. A CAADC holder who allows their credential to lapse and wishes to reinstate it typically must:

    An official certificate of standing from the originating member board verifies active credential status and is the key document for initiating reciprocity transfer.

  7. Which scenario would most likely result in IC&RC sanctioning a CAADC credential holder?

    Answer: Violating the IC&RC Code of Ethics and receiving a sustained complaint ruling

    A sustained ethics complaint against a CAADC holder can trigger IC&RC or member board sanctions including suspension or revocation of the credential.
