DISPLAY YOUR COMPETENCE AND

know that they can rely on your credentials because they are backed by our
national organization. NARC Certification not only gives you a leg up on your
competitors, but starts your client relationship off on the right foot!

DEMAND THE SECURITY OF CERTIFIED PROVIDERS
|
Health care needs, and
services for seniors in general, present issues
for the consumer unlike their previous business
dealings
Because these issues are new to
the consumer, they are both more reliant on service
providers for ethical counseling and more vulnerable
to those that are more concerned with making a sale
than meeting the consumer’s needs

assure that senior serving professionals have the training, network and
resources to allow them to serve as counselors to their clients, customers and
prospects; committed to advising each on how their needs may best be served and
able to direct them to the providers that can best meet those needs.
