Certification Programs

CCALP does not offer continuing education, all training must be purchased directly through the accredited training provider. Training is not included in the certification fee. Registration links are being provided as a convenience and for informational purposes only; they do not constitute an endorsement by CCALP. CCALP is not responsible for issues with links, CE providers are required to double check the CE calendar and to report issues or corrections immediately.


All Standards and requirements are subject to revision and based on the licensing laws and rules. Applicants are responsible for staying up-to-date and meeting the current standards. Applications incomplete and/or not submitted in the required format will not be reviewed.


Certification does not imply endorsement of clinical competency. As a licensed professional, you are responsible for reviewing the scope of practice, including activities that are defined in law as beyond the boundaries of practice in accordance with and in compliance with your profession’s standards.


Annual Maintenance Fee

The annual maintenance fee for Clinical Certification Association of Licensed Professionals (CCALP) is a vital investment in the integrity, administration, and continued development of the credentialing programs. This fee supports a range of essential services that ensure certified professionals receive the resources and training to practice effectively and remain in compliance with all relevant standards. These services include:

  • Operational Support: Covers the administrative costs of maintaining the certification programs, including access to expert consultations on best practices and compliance standards.
  • Regulatory Reporting: Funds the preparation and submission of monthly reports to the Licensing Board, promoting transparency and demonstrating adherence to state regulatory standards.
  • Professional Support: Enables timely responses to supervision-related inquiries, helping certified individuals navigate complex professional situations.
  • Compliance Audits: Supports regular audits to ensure adherence to local, state, and federal regulations, reinforcing high standards of ethical and legal practice.
  • Program Development and Review: Sustains the efforts of the advisory committee tasked with reviewing educational and training standards, ensuring the program continues to meet the evolving needs of the profession.


This ongoing investment ensures that CCALP-certified professionals remain knowledgeable, supported, and well-prepared to uphold the highest standards in counseling, ultimately enhancing the well-being of the clients and communities they serve.
