Trademarked Credential

The C.S.N. credential was trademarked in 1986.  It incorporated periods after each letter to distinguish it from any state level certification/licensure programs.  This credential was retired in 2000.

Today, NCSN is the official trademarked credential used by successful candidates of the national exam.


Certificates

Upon successful completion of the national exam, NCSNs receive a Wall size and Wallet size Certificate.
