NBCSN issues an annual report for the previous calendar year each June. This report is for 2018.


Administrative expenses were higher in 2018. This was a result of as NBCSN investing in several large improvement projects. These projects included the rebranding of NBCSN, overhauling the NBCSN website, and transitioning to a new management company and database platform. All of these projects were implemented to provide better service to current and potential NCSN’s.
NBCSN also invested more in the marketing of the NCSN exam. This investment has proven to be successful as the number of NCSN candidates and recertification applications increased by 24% and 17%, respectfully.


This trend of increase in exam and recertification applications is expected to continue for 2019.
