Certified Peer Support Specialist Trainee

Washington State holds 332 active credentials of this type — 0.1% of every active health care credential in the state. Here is what that number is made of, and how to check one.

What kind of credential this is

A Certified Peer Support Specialist Trainee is a Trainee — a credential held while learning under supervision. It says the holder is training, which is not the same as being unqualified, and not the same as being fully credentialled either.

That word is not a formality. Washington issues 1,833 active credentials in this form across the state, and it decides what the holder may do without someone else’s supervision. How a trainee differs from the others.

When these credentials expire

Washington renews on the holder’s birthday, so these 332 expiry dates are spread right across the calendar rather than falling together. By year:

How long these holders have been credentialled

The oldest Certified Peer Support Specialist Trainee credential still active in Washington was first issued in 2025. 332 of the 332 were issued in 2024 or later — 100.0% of the profession is that new.

The disciplinary flag

None of the 332 active credentials of this type carries a disciplinary flag in the Department’s published file.

Do not let the date pass

332 credentials of this type are active in Washington. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.

We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
