How many times can you fail the exam before needing to retake the training?

The requirement that you can fail the exam up to two times before needing to retake the training reflects the intent of the certification process, which balances the need for competency with the opportunity for learning and growth. The policy is designed to ensure that individuals demonstrate a certain level of knowledge and skill essential for effective peer support work, while still allowing candidates to improve and meet those standards.

Failing twice suggests that the candidate has the chance to learn from feedback and preparation strategies before needing to retake the entire training program. This approach recognizes that not every candidate will pass on their first attempt and provides a supportive framework to encourage success without overwhelming applicants. It promotes resilience and accountability in a rigorous process essential for professional development in the field of peer support.
