The NCBC Certification Program provided me with invaluable insights and practical tools that have strengthened both my professional work and personal convictions. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking clarity and confidence in applying Catholic bioethical principles.

The NCBC Certification Program offers a rewarding and challenging educational opportunity to both foster and enhance knowledge in bioethics. Additionally, what is significant for me in my role as a Clinical Manager is that the program offers an up-to-date knowledge base of information, applicable to both my professional and personal life, that is faithfully grounded in the Catholic moral tradition.
I am undeniably grateful for tremendous learning experience of the NCBC’s Certification Program. I earnestly and highly recommend it to interested Catholics and to those of good will.

The program has not only taught me a great deal about Bioethics, but about the Catholic faith in general. It has shown the logic and consistency of Catholic teaching, as well as its prophetic anticipation of new ethical challenges. It has made my faith stronger.
As a German, I was wondering if the program is mostly for Americans. While it uses many US documents, I was very pleased to discover that its content is truly universal – it is Catholic in the best sense. I can highly recommend it.
