From 2021 through 2023, ACCO convened the CC-P® Study Guide Editorial Board to conduct a comprehensive review and revision of the CC-P® curriculum. The Editorial Board comprised recognized experts, practitioners, and CC-P® professionals across sectors and geographies. Its work resulted in the publication of CC-P® Curriculum Version 2.0 on May 1, 2023.

Version 2.0 incorporated:

  • Updates to standards, science, and common practices

  • More illustrative examples and enhanced graphics

  • Insights from CC-P® professionals and practitioners

  • Samples and details from across geographic regions

  • Broader incorporation of equity and justice implications throughout course modules

  • A revised training program with updated homework assignments, exercises, and recommended resources

The Version 2.0 curriculum is currently being maintained through ACCO's 2026 refresh process, administered by ACCO staff. The peer-reviewed foundation established by the Editorial Board remains the authoritative basis.

Editorial Board

ACCO is grateful for the exceptional generosity and effort provided
by the Editorial Board members and ACCO staff who supported this work.
