Program Disclosures

You may complete this certificate for personal or professional edification or you could use it to work towards completing requirements for a clinical mental health counseling license.

While the Professional Counseling Certificate is not designed to fulfill licensure requirements in an individual state, the program may be used to partially fulfill licensure requirements.

Post University assists in researching and providing information regarding licensure; however, each state has different requirements for such licensure outside of the required education. Such state requirements may include licensure exams, background checks, certain work experience, and more. It is ultimately the responsibility of each student to manage their own licensure process and to ensure that all requirements are met in order for the student to obtain licensure. Post University does not speak on behalf of any licensing board or body and does not guarantee licensure. Requirements for licensure are subject to change without notice.

The tables at the following links show whether Post University, with completion of the appropriate curriculum, does or does not fulfill the educational requirements for a specific license:

“The word “professional” proceeds the word “counseling” to distinguish this distinct profession and discipline from the act or behavior of counseling. Students enrolled in one of Post University’s graduate counseling programs could have the opportunity to become part of this distinct profession, recognized as the profession of counseling.”

– Teah L. Moore, PhD, LPCC-S, LPC, CPCS
