| The Certified Criminal Justice Addictions
Professional Credential (CCJP) is designed for addiction professionals
who work in one of these three settings: law enforcement, the
judiciary and/or corrections.
The CCJP credential, unlike the other clinical credentials of
the Board, does not require an active caseload of clients.
Education
The education/training requirement is a total of 270 hours
or 180 hours if the applicant has a master's degree or higher
in a human services field from a regionally accredited college
or university. Education is defined as formal, structured instruction
in the form of workshops, seminars, institutes, in-services,
college/university credit courses and distance learning. One
hour of education/training is equal to 60 minutes of continuous
instruction. Education/ Training must be specifically related

Supervised Practical Training
Realizing that supervision may take place in a variety of settings
and have many faces, the IC&RC AODA, Inc. determined not
to place limiting criteria on areas of supervision. (A minimum
of 10 hours supervision is required in each domain as part of
the 300 hour supervised practicum.)
Supervised hours are to be face-to-face supervision received
in the CCJP Performance Domains.
