ExCPT Exam - Eligibility Rules
To be eligible to take the ExCPT, a candidate must: (1) be at least 18 years of age, (2) have a high school diploma or GED and (3) have not been convicted of or pled guilty to a felony. Candidates who have been convicted of or pled guilty to a drug-related felony are not eligible for certification. Candidates who were convicted of a nondrug-related felony occurring more than 7 years prior may petition to apply for the ExCPT. ICPT will review and make decisions on their status on a case-by-case basis. ICPT reserves the right to deny certification to any convicted felon.
Candidates will be required to provide an attestation stating that they meet these criteria and recognize that ICPT will revoke certification if any false information is provided by the candidate. ICPT reserves the right to investigate criminal background and verify candidate eligibility. Candidates must provide government-issued photo identification at the time of the exam to verify identity.
