ACPE Certification Commission

Certification by ACPE is an earned privilege and responsibility. It is achieved by meeting the requirements for certification in the ACPE standards. ACPE certified supervisors are clinical pastoral educators who are academically prepared and who are authorized by a recognized faith group and ACPE to combine perspectives from theology and the behavioral sciences in conducting accredited programs of clinically supervised ministry education.

Position Paper News from the Certification Commission Supervisory Candidates now have the option of submitting theory papers electronically in a read-only format.
