Membership & Credentialing
CPEI membership connects you with the organization and its professional community. Professional credentials such as Board Certified Associate Chaplain (BCAC), Board Certified Chaplain (BCC), Supervisor-Educator (SE) and Training Supervisor-Educator (TSE) require a separate credentialing process.
Becoming a CPEI member does not by itself confer professional certification or credentialing.
