20-hour WRAP Training
Please note the state of North Carolina also requires you to complete an additional 20-hrs of training in a related field to apply for NCCPSS certification. BUNDLE AND SAVE! For the convenience of our registrants, NC-H.O.P.E. has partnered with A.N.S.W.E.R. to offer 20-hr WRAP training. When you register here, you will have the opportunity to sign-up for WRAP dates.
Your Commitment to NC-H.O.P.E.
To receive the certificate of completion, participants must be present and participate in all scheduled training dates. Participants who do not complete all 40 hours will not earn the certificate of completion, which is required for Peer Support Specialist Certification by the state of North Carolina. If you are unable to commit to all of the training hours, please consider a future training date. Reservations can only be guaranteed once the full payment is received.
