Abstract
The authors examined the psychometric properties of the Counseling Competencies Scale (CCS; University of Central Florida Counselor Education Faculty, 2009), an instrument designed to assess trainee competencies as measured in their counseling skills, dispositions, and behaviors. There was strong internal consistency for the 4-factor model for midterm data (.927) and the 5-factor model for final data (.933). Interrater reliability for the total CCS score was.570, and criterion-related validity (correlation between the total score on the final CCS and semester grade) yielded a moderate correlation (r=.407, p <.01). Thus, the results provide initial support for using the CCS to assess counseling students' professional competencies. © 2012 by the American Counseling Association. All rights reserved.
