How to Become a CEAP
The following is a brief overview of the eligibility requirements for earning your CEAP.
For a complete and detailed explanation of the certification process as well as all the forms you need, the CEAP Candidate Handbook is accessible at no charge under the heading, “Credentialing/CEAP Certification,” on the EAPA web site.
There are two different tracks for earning your CEAP:
If you have a graduate degree in an area that is directly related to EAP work (such as psychology, social work, or counseling), you qualify for Track II. The requirements are:
- A minimum of 1,000 documented hours of paid employment in an EAP setting of some type that were earned over a minimum of 1 year within 10 years of the date of EACC exam application;
- A minimum of 20 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) in specified domains: 10, 7, and 3 in Domains I, II, III, respectively (see handbook for explanation);
- A minimum of 12 hours advisement over a minimum 3-month period with a currently certified CEAP advisor; advisements must be acknowledged and approved in advance;
- Sit for and pass the CEAP exam.
If you DO NOT have a graduate degree in an area that is directly related to EAP work, you qualify for Track I. The requirements are:
- A minimum of 1,000 documented hours of paid employment in an EAP setting of some type that were earned over a minimum of 1 year within 10 years of the date of EACC exam application;
- A minimum of 60 Professional Development Hours (PDH,) in specified domains: 10, 20, and 30 in Domains I, II, III, respectively (see handbook for explanation);
- A minimum of 12 hours advisement over a minimum 3-month period with a currently certified CEAP advisor; advisements must be acknowledged and approved in advance;
- Sit for and pass the CEAP exam.
Please Note: All new CEAP candidates applying for initial certification after July 1, 2010, must have completed at least two (2) hours of Domain I ethics training as part of their PDH eligibility requirement. This training must have been specifically approved by the EACC to meet this requirement.
