Continuing Education and Advanced Certifications
The Via Hope Peer Specialist Certification is valid for a period of twenty four months from the date the certification is issued. During that period the Peer Specialist must acquire a minimum of twenty Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to maintain his or her certification. Each CEU is equivalent to one hour of contact time in an approved training event. These approved events may be conferences, classroom style training, or on-line courses such as Webinars and self- directed courses.
