Is the CPE Training Right for You?
What is Chaplain Professional Education (CPE)?
Chaplain Professional Education (CPE) is a specialized program designed to train individuals to provide spiritual care in various settings, including healthcare, education, and community services. CPE emphasizes personal growth, spiritual development, and practical caregiving skills, equipping Chaplains to offer compassionate, inclusive care to people of diverse backgrounds during life’s most challenging moments.
Who is eligible for Chaplain Professional Education?
CPE is open to individuals from all spiritual and faith backgrounds who are committed to offering emotional and spiritual care. Applicants are usually required to hold a graduate-level degree and show a commitment to personal growth and ethical caregiving. Chaplaincy Pro welcomes participants from diverse belief systems, supporting a multifaith approach to spiritual care.
How long does it take to complete CPE?
CPE programs typically consist of four units, with each unit requiring around 400 hours of training. A unit includes 100 hours of instruction and 300 hours of hands-on experience. Programs can be completed part-time or full-time, offering flexibility to suit your professional and personal commitments.
Can I complete CPE units online?
Yes, Chaplaincy Pro offers the educational component (100 hours) of each CPE unit online. However, the practical experience (300 hours) must be completed in-person in an approved setting, such as a hospital or hospice, to meet the practicum requirements.
What kind of support does Chaplaincy Pro provide during CPE training?
Chaplaincy Pro offers comprehensive support, including financial assistance through waived application and tuition fees, making the program free for participants.

Employers in these settings value Chaplaincy Pro’s focus on multifaith and inclusive spiritual care, which ensures that Chaplains are prepared to serve individuals from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.
While Chaplaincy Pro is not accredited by government institutions, our certification reflects a deep commitment to spiritual care excellence and is recognized by a wide variety of organizations that value comprehensive spiritual care training. Our curriculum ensures that Chaplains are fully equipped to provide holistic care that addresses the emotional, spiritual, and mental needs of those they serve.
Why doesn’t Chaplaincy Pro pursue external accreditation?
Chaplaincy Pro has chosen not to pursue external accreditation from governmental or secular institutions in order to maintain the independence and integrity of our spiritual care programs. Our self-accreditation model, similar to that used by theological schools, ensures that our training aligns with the principles of spiritual care and religious freedom.
The separation of Church and State allows Chaplaincy Pro to develop programs that are tailored to the unique needs of Chaplains, free from governmental regulations that might impose restrictions on spiritual expression. This approach allows us to maintain a multifaith focus, offering flexible, inclusive training that supports the spiritual growth of our students without compromising their beliefs.
How does Chaplaincy Pro certify its Chaplains?

Our certification process ensures that Chaplains have the spiritual, emotional, and interpersonal skills necessary to provide compassionate care in diverse settings, from healthcare facilities to community organizations.
Certification from Chaplaincy Pro demonstrates that a Chaplain has met rigorous standards of training, professional conduct, and spiritual care competency, making them well-prepared to serve in a variety of roles.
Is Chaplaincy Pro’s certification recognized by public institutions?

What is the relationship between Chaplaincy Pro’s certification and public institutions’ religious neutrality?
Chaplaincy Pro trains Chaplains to navigate the requirements of religious neutrality in public institutions, such as hospitals and schools.
