THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS

An application package can be mailed, emailed or downloaded from our site. If there are any questions about the required materials for the assessment, the CPGCB staff will assist you throughout the process. A fee of $100 is required upon submission of the application. A review committee of certified members will examine your submission and notify you of the results within eight weeks. Once you receive a written notice of approval for certification, a payment of $200 is required. When the certification fee is processed, you will receive a certificate from the Canadian Problem Gambling Certification Board and will be legally entitled to use the CPGC designation.

The initial approval certifies a counsellor for a two-year period. To ensure currency and quality in the profession, all Canadian Problem Gambling Counsellors must meet the re-certification criteria every two years to maintain their designation and status.
