Eligibility

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 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.
