In late 2012, ZCC was accredited by the Kurdistan Board for Medical Specialties (KBMS) to be a training center in radiation oncology and the 1st batch enrolled in the structured program by July 2013. This residency training was in-fact the only running board (high specialty level) in Kurdistan and in Iraq.
In 2014, ZCC was accredited again by the University of Sulaimani to be a training center in radiation oncology (for the 3-year MSc program in radiation oncology) and in medical physics (for the 2-year High Diploma program in medical physics).
