The Center for Credentialing & Accreditation (formerly GCCC) has vision of a world where everyone has access to quality services that promote health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
The Center for Credentialing & Accreditation (formerly GCCC) provides experience verification and appropriate exams to ensure that governments and other employers are hiring and utilizing the most qualified professionals to improve the likelihood of positive outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.
The ICUDDR Center for Credentialing & Accreditation (formerly GCCC) was established in 2009 as the Asian Center for Certification and Education of Addiction Professions (ACCE) under the Colombo Plan's Drug Advisory Programme, funded by the U.S. Department of State.
By 2013, ACCE had trained 1,500 professionals and expanded to 24 members by 2015, becoming the International Centre for Credentialing and Education of Addiction Professionals (ICCE).
In 2019, ICCE evolved into the Global Center for Credentialing and Certification (GCCC), broadening its certification areas.
In 2024, GCCC transitioned to the International Consortium of Universities for Drug Demand Reduction (ICUDDR), rebranding as the Center for Credentialing & Accreditation. This shift allows the organization to leverage the Consortium's global network and resources, strengthening its efforts to professionalize addiction services worldwide.
The Center continues to enhance the delivery of evidence-based services in prevention, treatment, and recovery support, ensuring high-quality care for individuals with substance use disorders.
