What is the process for me to be certified?
- A complete application package can be mailed, emailed or downloaded from our site.
- Complete your application and submit with a partial fee of $100
(non-refundable)
- A committee of certified members will review your application and notify
you of your results within eight weeks.
- Upon written approval of acceptance the balance of $200 is required.
- Following receipt of payment, you will receive your certification certificate by mail, and will be legally entitled to use the Canadian Problem Gambling Certification, CPGC designation.
-
Initial approval certifies a counsellor for a two-year period. To ensure problem gambling counsellors stay current in their profession, all Canadian Problem Gambling Counsellors must meet the Re-Certification Criteria every two years to maintain their certification status.
