Jan -- Standard 6.D. is from the NCCA -- the entity whose Standards IBLCE
must follow, if it is to be granted the right to conduct a certification
exam. Think of it as "the JCAHO for IBLCE."
NCCA accredits over 100 organizations, who administer 150+ certification
exams. All of the organizations that conduct certification exams must
submit fairly onerous applications, and be re-approved by NCCA every five
years. IBLCE's current approval lasts through March 2014>>

OK -- that make sense. We look at our "certification" as a stepping stone
to being an IBCLC, and not as an end all and be all in and of itself.
While it isn't perfect, it does indicate that the person successfully
completed the course, and does know something about lactation....but doesn't
pretend to assess or imply that the person has clinical competency.
