The Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP) credential was created in 1986 to identify to the public and the profession those individuals who have met established standards for competent, client-centered practice and who adhere to a professional code of conduct designed to ensure the highest standards in the delivery of employee assistance services. The credential is now recognized by employers, human resources professionals, accrediting agencies, and employees as the standard in employee assistance. The Employee Assistance Certification Commission (EACC) is the autonomous credentialing body established by EAPA to administer all aspects of the CEAP program. Today, the EACC remains the center of all professional certification activities for those engaged in the field of employee assistance, having evolved into a strong and highly-respected policy making body.
