The NIC was worth the cost to me (I was already certified so I didn't have to take the written test). My employer reimbursed me for the entire cost of the interview and performance test. Even if they hadn't, I would still have paid for it and taken it.

The NIC (and CI/CT for that matter) indicates that an interpreter has at least met the minimum standard as set by our profession. Not everyone will pass the test; that is the whole point of testing--to determine who meets the minimum standard and who doesn't.
