CPE Cohort

Virtual CPE proved to be an incredible resource, enabling thousands of students to become Certified Peer Educator (CPE) trained during the COVID-19 pandemic. We're thrilled to uphold the legacy of the CPE training while continuing to offer the accessibility of a virtual option by offering a revamped online experience, now designed to foster peer interaction, collaboration, and joint learning.

Enrolling in the CPE Cohort is priced at $109 per student, with a reduced rate of $89 per student for NASPA Institutional members. Students can register for the cohort themselves or have their advisors register them using the 'register colleague' option (students will need to first create a NAPSA account and select their institution). 

CPE Train-the-Trainer

Campus staff members that work with peer educators can become a CPE Trainer. The CPE Train-the-Trainer course enables advisors to facilitate the CPE curriculum to their students, leading them through the training and certifying them upon passing the CPE Certifying Exam.   

If you'd like to learn more about your CPE training options, the shift to the CPE Cohort, or any other inquiries, reach out by emailing CPE@NASPA.org. You can learn more and stay up to date with all CPE news by visiting our webpage: https://naspa.org/cpe

Looking to network with fellow advisors? Join the Collegiate Peer Education Advisors of NASPA Facebook group by clicking the Facebook icon! This is a forum for advisors to collaborate, benchmark, share content, ask questions, seek advice, and build the field together. 

Notice a colleague going above and beyond? Did a new program exceed all expectations? Are you building best practices for the field?

National Peer Educator Study

NASPA’s Culture of Respect is excited to announce that applications are now open for the Collective’s Cohort 8! The Collective equips institutions with the necessary tools, resources, and guidance to address sexual violence and promote a safe and inclusive campus community. Cohort 8 will begin January 2024 and will commit to a two year process of assessment, training, and implementation of evidence-based strategies. Through a combination of in-person and virtual opportunities, participating institutions will gain access to a robust network of professionals, experts, and peers who share a common goal of cultivating safer communities. Visit the Collective’s webpage to learn more about Cohort 8, or email Jessica Henault. Applications close on November 22, 2023.
