Clinical Psychospiritual Education (CPE)

Clinical Psychospiritual Education (CPE) is interfaith professional education intended to assist clergy, candidates for ministry, and spiritual care workers to develop a spiritual care identity as well appropriate skills in the delivery of spiritual care.

Supervised encounters with those in crisis will help students develop their own awareness in meeting the needs of those to whom they work including congregational and institutional settings, regardless of faith tradition. 

We provide in-depth training with persons in need in an environment where effective feedback from peers, teachers and students develop deeper self-awareness.  ​
​Full Time: 11 weeks, Mon-Fri, 8 hr/day 1 Units
Part-Time: 28-29 weeks, 2 days per week, 8 hrs/day
Intensives/Residency fast tracks completion for certification qualification - 3-4 Units/Courses
Residencies offer three or four full time Intensive CPE Units back to back as a complete year of education. A residency can facilitate a rapid path to certification and has the benefit of a bursary to offset the cost of tuition. Residency positions are quickly filled so early application is encouraged. Usually one unit of CPE is a prerequisite for admission to a Residency.
