Greetings, please review the CPRS application manual to gain an understanding of all that will be required to become a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist.
I noticed that the Relias Learnings are approved for CEUs. It says varies under credits, which I assume it will tell you when you complete it. However, are ALL the learning through them good to take and would it tell us under what categories it falls?
The online training through Relias are good for re-certification, because they do not identify domains. Peer are only eligible to submit 2.5 hours on online training for re-certification and 5 hours for initial certification.
Will there be another Ethics class coming soon? I was told there’s one coming to Towson next month.
There is a view hours needed for me to become a certified peer are there any upcoming class.

Hello,
For re-certification; what is the deadline to have all your paperwork in?
In order to allow for review and possibly request additional documentation; it is requested that all re-certification applications be submitted by May 30, 2016, thank you!
I am taking Intentional Peer Support training in late June-early July and I believe my certification expires on July 1st. Do I have to take the test again?. The training covers all 4 domains requirements.
You will not have to conduct the exam. However, your certification will be considered lapsed and there is no grace period. If the re-certification is not completed by the expiration date, you will no longer hold the certification and no further use is permitted until you have re-certified. Also, a $15 per month Reinstatement Fee over and above the re-certification fee of $100 Fee is due if you are late between one day and 12-mos. After 12 mos. no re-certification is possible and applicants would have to reapply, meeting all current requirements and/or possibly conducting the exam.
Very happy to see these classes and trainings.
I am Executive Director RCDC H20 4LIFE

Thanks for your help!
Each domain has its own Job Tasks. The job tasks need to be covered in an in-service training in order for the training to be applicable to the credential. An in-service training that is listed in the group of trainings on an application needs to describe content via syllabus and time on task to receive credit. College credits will be approved only if they follow the same criteria as above. Trainings will be listed if approved.
