FAQs
What is the first step to becoming certified?
Check the date on your LPC license to ensure you meet the required 3 year minimum. If your LPC license issue date is at least three years to the date you plan to apply for your CPCS, then the next step would be to take the supervision training.
The LAPC license does not count towards the 3 years.

What are the CE requirements for the CPCS Certification Program?
Supervisor training must be 30 hours AND all from the same trainer. The supervision training has very specific CE workshop requirements. (Keep in mind these hours will also count toward your 35 required hours for your LPC licensure hours.)
30 Hour Requirement = 6 CE hours in each of the following categories:
Applications & Principles of Supervision
Documentation, Methods & Models
Foundations
Legal & Ethical
TeleSupervision
This training summit, if completed in full, will provide you the 30-hour CE requirements for initial CPCS certification.

The training summit will be held at the following dates/times, via virtual zoom workshops.
Friday, September 11th; 8 AM - 8:15 PM

Can I complete the required clinical supervision training hours through multiple providers, as long as they are approved by the LPCA of Georgia?
No. For new CPCS (Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor) applications, all 30 required training hours must be completed with a single approved provider, as specified by the LPCA of Georgia.
Do the fees for this training summit include the CPCS application fee?
No. The fees for this training summit only covers the CE requirements for the CPCS certification, but it does not include the costs for your CPCS application.
