Certified Peer Educator (CPE) Training - Spring 2025 Cohort

Join our Online CPE Cohort and complete your Certified Peer Educator (CPE) training at your own pace. This self-paced program offers a mix of engaging videos, reflective questions, discussion forums, and practice quizzes.

The training is organized into eight modules, each of which is asynchronous, allowing you to move through the material on your schedule. Quizzes are ungraded and meant for practice only. Participation in the discussion forums is essential for course completion—you’ll need to post and respond to at least three peers. Completing these discussions is necessary to finalize the course and access the CPE Exam.

This course will expire on May 31, 2024, at 11 PM ET, so make sure to complete everything prior to that date.
