EACC Committee

Is the policy-making body for all professional certification activities of EAPA and its primary focus is on the development and maintenance of the Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP®) certification program and reviews appeals and complaints against certification holders.

The EACC is made up of eight (8) Commissioners which are selected with the approval of the EAPA Board of Directors. Commissioners serve a three-year term and at least one sitting Commissioner must reside outside of the United States. The EACC may, at its discretion, elect officers and form committees as needed to perform the duties of the EACC.

With our new CEAP® certification program (CEAP® and CEAP® Global), the Commission endeavors to ensure that the CEAP® credential accurately reflects the diverse global field of employee assistance, delivers a quality certification program and provides a fair, equitable and inclusive process for achieving and maintaining certification.
