Certification Exam Information
The CCB is now offering computer-based testing (CBT) for all IC&RC exams, which include CAC, CCS, CPP and CCDP/CCDP-D exams as well as the CCB MATS - Medication Assisted Treatment Specialist exam. The eligibility requirements for testing will remain the same. Please note that paper and pencil written exams are no longer offered by the CCB.
Computer-based testing has several advantages:
- Immediate preliminary feedback on test results (Pass or Fail)
- Increased flexibility and scheduling of exams
- Multiple testing locations
- Private and secure exam setting
Only authorized candidates are eligible to test in Connecticut and typically include individuals that are:
- In the process of getting certified. Once an individual meets all of the requirements of a credential, they are notified in writing and are invited to test.
- Out of state candidates or those authorized to test by Department of Public Health, the IC&RC or other organizations.
- Actively registered CITs (CIT - Counselor in Training)
