- Receiving Chaplaincy Ecclesial Credentials or Completing CPE courses or any of the Certificate Programs we offer does not guarantee employment or certification as a Board-Certified Chaplain. Additional requirements are up to the certifying organization and an employer’s HR requirements.
- SCCN acceptance as a student does not guarantee you will pass CPE. Failure may require you to repeat a course to proceed to the next level. A student’s ability to proceed to the next level of CPE is dependent on the recommendation of their CPE Supervisor-Educator. A passing grade and a positive recommendation is required for enrollment in all subsequent CPE courses.
- We expect our students to engage in the hard work of self-study, self-awareness, and life transformation.
- If you have completed CPE courses with another CPE program, we may accept your CPE units as approved by CPEI.
- Board Certification is available to those who meet the educational criteria and standards for Board Certification with CPEI.
- Successful students will receive certificates of completion for CPE directly from CPEI.
- Students are accountable to adhere to the learning outcomes and expectations established by CPEI.
- Learning goals, anticipated outcomes, and competencies for CPE 100, 200, 300, and 400 provide scaffolding for student academic growth. Each subsequent course builds on the previous learning experience. Each student must demonstrate a sincere and conscientious effort to achieve these goals, outcomes, and competencies.
