Hi Everyone, I received an APPIC Intern Network e-mail yesterday from a woman who stated she was able to take the EPPP as a master's level clinician in a specific state and then pay a transfer fee. Anyone heard of this?
QUOTE FROM E-MAIL: You cannot register to take the EPPP in a straightforward manner. Rather, you must apply for masters-level licensure in a specific state (not necessarily the state of your residence), be granted approval to sit for the EPPP (from a computer testing center anywhere), and then schedule the exam within 60 days of your approval. It takes a bit of research to determine which states in which you are eligible to apply for licensure, plus there is some paperwork involved (some states require forms from your school and supervisors, others even require letters of recommendation and separate state jurisprudence exams). If you want this is to appear on your application, you must allow time to study for the test, gather materials for licensure, apply for licensure, wait for approval to sit, and several weeks to receive your scores. If you fail the exam, you have to wait a few months to retake it. Costs accumulate quickly a license application fee, a
computer testing fee, an EPPP fee, a comprehensive study package, and (if all goes well) another actual licensing fee.
