Credential Training Provider (CTP) Eligibility Requirements

The Credential Training Provider (CTP) application process ensures that only qualified continuing education providers achieve this designation. CTP status is granted to organizations and individuals capable of operating independently while meeting all Policy requirements. Approved providers can offer LPCA credit for programs that align with the required delivery formats and standards.


To qualify for CTP designation, applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:

(a) The applicant must currently develop and present continuing education programs that meet the Policy standards for LPCA credit. For TeleMental Health (TMH) training, proof of specific qualifications is required.

(b) The applicant must demonstrate the ability to present at least one live program that qualifies for LPCA credit under the Policy guidelines.


(c) The applicant must designate a qualified representative to serve as the program administrator. This individual must hold an advanced degree in a mental health field from an accredited educational institution. The program administrator is responsible for ensuring that all LPCA credit programs comply with Policy requirements.


(d) The applicant agrees to verify the qualifications of all program presenters. This includes confirming relevant education, degrees, experience, training, and credentials as required by the Policy.


(e) The applicant must submit a complete CTP application, including all required information, supporting materials, and the non-refundable application fee.

For Faster Application Processing:

Providing your LPCA CE Number is preferred. Alternatively, you may provide your NBCC/ACEP Number or CE Broker Number. Please note that Continuing Education (CE) numbers or approvals from other organizations will not be accepted.

Before submitting your CTP application, ensure that all information is complete, accurate, and meets the program eligibility requirements.

On-demand programs are NOT eligible for approval. All qualified programs must be delivered in real-time, either in person or through an interactive electronic format that allows participants to engage directly with the presenter(s).

Application Fees:

Fees are nonrefundable, nontransferable, and must be paid at the time of application submission. Please note that submitting fees and required documentation does not guarantee approval for the CTP designation. Review our Refund Policy.

Maintaining your CTP Status

Once approved, your CTP status allows you to offer educational courses and workshops for CE credits. Your approval will remain active as long as you properly maintain your CTP designation by meeting the following requirements:

  1. Adhere to Provider Policy Requirements
    Ensure all programs and operations comply with the current CTP Policy.
  2. Pay the Annual Maintenance Fee
    Submit your annual fee before the due date to avoid lapses in your status.
  3. Participate in Compliance Audits
    Take part in the required compliance audit; audits are conducted at random.

Download and review the full CTP Policy.

Failure to meet these requirements may jeopardize your CTP status, limiting your ability to offer Board-approved trainings and workshops. Stay compliant to continue supporting the professional growth of mental health professionals!
