Abstract
The Assessment of Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling Competencies (AMCFCC) is an evaluation tool designed to measure marriage, couples, and family counseling trainees’ (MCF-CIT) learning outcomes in essential counseling and specialized competencies. The AMCFCC was developed to align with the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) standards, as well as the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Marriage and Family Therapy Core Competencies (MFT-CC). In this manuscript, we (a) present the need for the development of an AMCFCC; (b) introduce the AMCFCC; and (c) offer implications for preparation programs using the AMCFCC and areas for future research.
