Board certification programs are designed to recognize practitioners who meet established education and experience requirements, and knowledge, skills, or competencies in their profession. Board Certification is granted once a candidate has demonstrated eligibility and passed an assessment of previously acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies. ABA is accepting applications for two audiology specialty certification programs and maintains a third program for existing credential holders
Vestibular Audiology Specialty Certification®
Administration of the CISC exam was discontinued in 2018 while the ABA Board considers evolution of the program. Please check back or contact ABA for more information.
Pediatric Audiology Specialty Certification®
Becoming Board Certified in Pediatric Audiology® means that an audiologist has acquired specialized knowledge in the field of pediatric audiology and has demonstrated a high level of knowledge in this specialty area.

Cochlear Implant Specialty Certification®
Being Board Certified in Cochlear Implants® means that an audiologist has acquired specialized knowledge in the field of cochlear implants and has demonstrated a high level of knowledge in this specialty area.
