1) How Do I Apply for a Higher Professional Qualification Level?

If you wish to update your professional qualification level within the CNCP Counsellors’ Register, send the following documents to the CNCP Central Secretariat at segreteriacentrale@cncp.it:

If your training was completed at a CNCP-recognised institution:

• Diploma certifying your new professional qualification level

If your training was completed at a non-recognised institution:

• Diploma certifying your new professional qualification level

• A statement from your training school outlining the programme details, including type of training, hours completed, internships, supervision, personal development, etc.

• Signed Curriculum Vitae

All documents must be submitted in PDF format.

Important: To finalise your qualification upgrade, your membership dues for the current year must be paid.

You can pay your fees:

• By bank transfer to:
  IBAN: IT96H0538703211000002315318
  (Be sure to include clearly the member’s name in the payment reference),

• Or online by logging into your personal member area.

2) What Are the Requirements for Ongoing Professional Development?

To remain in good standing with the CNCP, all registered counsellors must complete 60 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) within each three-year period (an average of 20 credits per year).

Annual Requirements:

• At least 15 credits per calendar year

• Of these, 5 credits per year must come from CNCP-organised events (e.g. conferences, congresses)

You may also count relevant activities from your first year of registration—if completed after the registration date—towards your 3-year credit total.

If you have more credits than required at the end of your 3-year cycle, you can carry forward up to 10 extra credits to the next cycle.

Self-Certification:

• Must be submitted each year by February
  

• You must also include a copy of a valid ID document

Note:

• If you joined via a CNCP-recognised school, submit the self-certification directly to them.

• If you registered independently, send it to: formazionepermanente@cncp.it

If you fail to complete your required credits within the 3 years, you must make them up during the first half of the following year. Until then, your Certificate of Professional Qualification and Quality will be temporarily suspended.
