CAE Candidates National Center (CCNC)

The CAE Candidates National Center acts as the entry point for all colleges and universities that plan to apply for either Academic Validation or NCAE-C Designation. The CCNC provides mentoring, resources, advice, and other support to colleges and universities that want to earn the NCAE designation, or to have their academic program validated as a first step in the process. Candidate institutions must have their mentor’s endorsement to apply for designation. Because Whatcom College also plays a lead role in the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Advanced Technical Education (ATE) National Center, known as the National Cybersecurity Training & Education Center (NCyTE), applicants benefit from both NCAE-C program and NCyTE resources and expertise. The project’s ultimate goal is to improve and expand cybersecurity education nationwide to meet the workforce needs of the nation.
