Admission
Under the supervision of TACC’s Director of CPE, ACPE Supervisor Rev. Karen Miller, the Center offers Level I/II CPE as an intensive Summer unit (11 weeks) and as two extended, 15-week units in the Fall and Spring. Admission to the program is based on the completion and evaluation of the CPE application and a possible admission interview.
To apply for CPE training, we require a non-refundable $60 application fee, a minimum of a 10-page application document and a potential interview after the application has been reviewed by an ACPE supervisor. You will find the ACPE Application form for Level I CPE on the ACPE website. You can also find the CPE application here. Please email all application materials to cpe@taccatstlukes.com as we are working from home at this time.
We begin training in January, May and September each year. The spring and fall units are 15-week extended part-time units (18.5 hours of ministry in the community and 6-8 hours of educational time). The summer unit is an intense 11-week full-time experience with 32 hours a week of ministry and 8 hours of educational time.
