I graduated from a CACREP accredited college (Lynchburg College) in Va in 1998, I am licensed in both Maryland and Virginia. Needless to say, I have found the post-masters certificate at Johns Hopkins (CACREP accredited).  Both have conributed to my development as a professional, yet I am certain that CACREP does not necessarily ensure higher competence. I have colleagues who did not graduate from CACREP insitutions and they display a high level of skill and competency; and, numerous clients finf them helpful.  I do not believe that the CACREP monopoly will be helpful to anyone.
