ARNO Profile System Certification

Arno Profile System Overview

The Arno Profile System is a clinical diagnostic tool used by the National Christian Counselors Association to assess a person’s God-given temperament. It is extremely valuable in helping the client better understand themselves and also for the counselor to be more effective with each person.

The Arno Profile System. It reveals the “hidden problems” that normally take the counselor seven or eight sessions to identify. Presently, over 3,000 Christian leaders, ministers and professional Christian counselors rely on the Arno Profile System to aid them in their counseling efforts. These Christians report an accuracy rate of over ninety-percent (90%) in identifying an individual’s inborn, God-given temperament.

The information that the Arno Profile System places in the hands of a Christian counselor is biblical, extremely important and state-of-the-art. It only takes 8 to 10 minutes for the counselee to respond to the 60 questions. The counselor generates a “clinical diagnostic report” from which to do the session and, as a courtesy to our clients. we give them a personalized “Special Personal Profile“

 

Arno Profiles System Certification
 
One of the distinctive features of NCCA training is certification in the Arno Profile System (APS). The APS is a biblically based temperament assessment designed to help Christian counselors better understand how individuals naturally respond to relationships, stress, and life circumstances.

Professionals trained and certified in the APS learn how to: administer the Arno profile system assessment:

• Interpret APS reports accurately and ethically

National pastoral licensing qualified graduates may also pursue national pastoral counseling credentials through the National Christian Counselors Association. These credentials are designed for individuals serving in ministry, churches, and faith-based counseling settings.
