Update on CPRS Application
-
Motion Passed: Immediately delay the requirement for the IC&RC Peer Recovery written exam until at least January 2021 for all CPRS applicants. -
Should the regulations change prior to January 2021, the Board will make announcements on our home page. -
This means that all CPRS applicants from October 1, 2019 on will not be required to take the IC&RC Peer Recovery exam. Completed applications, lacking the exam, will be sent late this week or next week when we expect the delayed (COVID Related) delivery of certificates to our office to be printed.
