Individuals seeking to apply for a CPP or APP credential must submit documentation of prevention experience and education in the substance misuse prevention field.
A Bachelor's degree is not required to achieve a Certified Prevention Professional or Associate Prevention Professional credential. A high school diploma or GED is the minimum requirement.
As a Member Board of the International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC), we follow their requirements in regard to reciprocity when a current CPP credential holder in good standing is planning on moving to another state.
Renewal Application: Current CPPs applying to renew their credential for an additional 3-year certification period. Subsequent expiration dates fall on an applicant’s birth date (Month & Day).
Recertification Application: A CPP whose certification has lapsed and is applying to regain their CPP credential.
You can no longer identify yourself as a CPP if your certification has expired.
