HOW IT WORKS
The Certified Peer Support Leader and Teammate programs are online, on-demand, self-paced training programs with a certification exam required at the end.
Access Timeline: Both programs allow access for 90 days from the date of enrollment, and you must begin, and complete, the training program within that time frame for the best learning and retention possible.
The Exam: After the 90 day program access ends, you will be enrolled in the examination and will have access for 30 days, with 2 attempts to pass. You must earn a 90% score or better in order to pass the examination and earn the certification.
Annual Renewal & CE: An annual certification renewal will be required, in order to remain an "active" CPSL or CPST. The renewal fee is $25/annually. After the first year, active CPSL and CPST will be required to complete 1 hour of CE (continuing education), offered via our program, in order to qualify for the next year's renewal. This is to make sure our CPSL's and CPST's are staying current, informed, and continuously educated on peer support processes and resources. Each CE course fee is $25. *Renewal is not covered by 100 Club*
