National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) · Current pre-summer-2027 NCE content outline, copyright 2023, corroborated by the state licensure handbook revised September 24, 2024; applicable as of October 18, 2026. The outline does not state a separate effective date. The workbook's generic LPC National Exam label is mapped to the NCE because NBCC identifies it as a counselor licensure examination used in many states. LPC is a jurisdictional license designation, not the official examination name. The separately published outline approved November 4, 2025 is designated for summer 2027 and is not the blueprint used here.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
