Independence: The Lunarline SCS Training Program and Certification Program are independent from one another. Although they may target the same NICE category, specialty area, work role, and/or authoritative sources, certification exams are not based on any SCS training. Taking SCS training is NOT required and Lunarline does not guarantee that an individual will pass nor have any advantage based on participation with SCS training. The following training offerings are intended to show linkage only to the same NICE category, and not linkage to the certification or exam content.

Continuing Education: The Lunarline SCS Training Program and other third-party vendors offer activities, products and services across the country that qualify as Professional Development Credits (PDCs) that target the same NICE category, specialty area, work role, and/or authoritative sources as our certifications. We encourage candidates to use a variety of tools and resources that will enhance their understanding of relevant principles and reflect their learning styles and needs.  ​
