BCCI Education Equivalency Request

Description:

An “equivalency” indicates a form of education or training that varies from the usual route but complies with national standards established by APC. It enables an individual to qualify for board certified chaplain, provisional certified chaplain or associate certified chaplain status through BCCI. Standards regarding theological education, clinical pastoral education training, and/or work experience as a chaplain, are very specific. Competence in these areas is required. Note: Your equivalency materials must be reviewed and approved before your application is considered complete and your interview can be scheduled. Please remember that our equivalency reviewers serve as volunteers. Please allow 180 days for review time, depending on the complexity of submitted equivalency materials.

Once purchased, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on completing and submitting the equivalency request. It will be located in the "Special Notes and Instructions" section, at the bottom on the email.
