All seven seminars and the final exam must be completed within a 5 year timeframe. One of the seminars must be taken after graduation, having attained a D.C. degree. The student is responsible to ensure that the institution provides verification of course completion to the CEA office.
  • Pass all exams at each seminar with a cumulative score of 75% or greater.
  • Pass the practical exam - A $200 sitting fee is required, paid two weeks in advance. Payment can be made online or by calling the CEA office with a credit card payment.

CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENT: Once every two years the Council requires that 12 hours of Continuing Education (CE) be chosen with an extremity emphasis, keeping those who carry the CCEP designate current in the field of extremity adjusting. This requirement can be fulfilled by taking a CCEP refresher course (Discounts available at participating institutions), or by choosing CE with other agencies in one of the following subjects: Sports, Orthopedic; Extremity; Neurology; Rehabilitation, or Soft Tissue. CCEPs must provide confirmation of your Continuing Education to the Council in order to maintain their certification.
