CBDCE is looking forward to working with all BC-ADM credential holders as ownership of the BC-ADM program transitions from the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES) to CBDCE in 2025.

At this time, CBDCE is planning on working with the same test vendor that currently manages the program to keep the transition as smooth as possible for those who are currently certified and for those looking to become certified.

ADCES will be completing the work needed, including audits and certificates/wallet cards for those testing in the December 2024 window and renewing through December 2024. Reach out to bcadm@adces.org or click here to visit the BC-ADM page on the ADCES website through December 2024.

We'll keep updating this page with news as we move along. Please know we'll be working on a website update in 2025 to expand the information on becoming certified, renewing as a BC-ADM, and the BC-ADM program in general.  Click here to read the news release about the transition.
 

Note: We appreciate your patience as we transition the program from ADCES to CBDCE in the first quarter of 2025. We will work as quickly as possible to ensure information, processes, links and documents work smoothly for those pursuing initial and renewal of the BC-ADM certification, but some changes do take time and could not be started until January 2025. Hopefully incidents will be rare after January 2025, but it may take some time.
