The ACC In-house Counsel Certification program is an intensive program designed to specifically help in-house counsel become proficient in the essential skills critical for an in-house legal career. This comprehensive program is not tied to any specific country’s laws, but instead draws from the experience of ACC's global membership to identify what is essential to the successful in-house practice. The program is designed to develop three competency areas: Stakeholder Relations, Department Management, and Legal Services.
The certification program is a blend of various learning methods, including individual reflection, self-paced learning, virtual instruction, hands-on projects, and teamwork experience. It concludes with a final assessment, which upon passing, participants earn the In-house Counsel Certified (ICC) designation. It is important to note that the ICC designation is valid for one year from the month that a candidate passes the final assessment. After the first year, ICC certificants must maintain their certification by engaging in continuing legal professional development (CLPD) activities and paying an annual fee.
To learn more about the program and its upcoming dates, please visit the ACC Credentialing Institute website. If you have any questions, contact certification@acc.com.
