What is required if an applicant fails either part of the EPPP six times?

An applicant who fails either part of the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) six times is required to complete both additional graduate-level coursework and continuing education. Specifically, the requirement of nine hours of graduate-level coursework is intended to enhance the applicant's understanding of psychological concepts, while the 45 hours of continuing education ensures they remain current with developments in the field. This combined approach is designed to address any knowledge gaps and reinforce essential competencies needed to practice effectively.

By requiring both types of educational engagement, the process upholds professional standards and promotes ongoing learning for licensure candidates who may struggle with the examination. This requirement supports the integrity of the profession and is implemented to ensure that candidates are adequately prepared for the responsibilities of practicing psychology.
