International Certificate of Christian Education
ICCE
formerly NCSC emailICCE Staff
The International Certificate of Christian Education was set up to give recognition to work completed over a number of years by secondary pupils using the ACE curriculum. With the appropriate ICCE certificate, ACE graduates need never return to state schools to gain college and university entrance qualifications. A board of Christian leaders and teachers control the ICCE.
The International Certificate of Christian Education (formerly National Christian Schools’ Certificate) has been available in the UK for several years and is being accepted by colleges and universities in this country and abroad.

What is the ICCE?
The International Certificate of Christian Education is a Christian alternative to secular qualifications and is recognized by a growing number of employers and universities in the UK and elsewhere. The UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) UK Qualifications Handbook includes details of the ICCE (formerly NCSC). Providing formal recognition of the work completed by children on the ACE curriculum, six levels of certificate are offered.
In order to register on the ICCE you must be a member of TEACH (The European Academy of Christian Homeschoolers) or a CEE Ltd registered School in the UK, or a school or homeschool registered with one of our recognised Overseas Coordinators.
