Certification as an Evidence-Based Practitioner (CEBP)

Certified Evidence Based Professional (CEBP)

The EBP Society's Certification for Evidence-Based Professionals (CEBP) is a training and self-study program followed by a half-day proctored exam. This process provides individuals with a standard method to become Certified Evidence-Based Professionals (CEBPs), and it recognizes the abilities and accomplishments these individuals have demonstrated in the area of evidence-based policies, programs, and practices. The Certification program creates progressive professional development and provides an outstanding opportunity for individuals to become highly knowledgeable and skilled in evidence-based approaches.

Purpose of Certification and Eligibility

The Certification program is designed to recognize and advance the performance level of practitioners working in human, social and justice services agencies. The program enhances the capabilities of these individuals and their agencies. It also aids in the recruitment and retention of skilled and talented staff members; and enables participants to become part of a nationwide network of professionals devoted to improving their productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness, along with enhancing the performance of their agencies and organizations.

Becoming a CEBP is open to anyone who meets the minimum educational/work requirements, is currently employed, or is seeking employment at a human, social, or justice services agency, or other behavioral and mental health organization emphasizing evidence-based approaches.

Once certified, CEBP's are required to continue their education and professional development, and renew their certification every 2 years.

Certification may be achieved by joining our live events, or signing up for our online masterclasses. There also may be some required and recommended reading and successful completion of a program overview exam.
