Founded in 1985, IBLCE administers annual examinations, in multiple languages and at numerous sites around the world. The IBLCE certification program for lactation consultants has been continuously accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) since 1988. Candidates who pass the certification exam are awarded the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) credential.  \nIn 2011, 6,176 candidates across 50 countries took the exam, with 82% certifying for the first time. The IBLCE requires that lactation consultants recertify every five years either by taking the exam or by earning continuing education credits.
