An Advanced Certified Prevention Specialist certification is now offered by the Prevention Certification Board of NH
The Advanced Certified Prevention Specialist credential is for those currently certified as Prevention Specialists (CPS) in NH and are seeking a more advanced certification that involves a focus on organizational leadership and management skills. There are two levels, for those who currently hold the CPS and are initially seeking the advanced credential, and for those who already have the advanced credential (ACPS) and are seeking recertification of their ACPS.
