The Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP) is the standardized licensing exam used by psychology regulators across North America, including Ontario. The current EPPP model includes:
- Part 1 鈥� Knowledge (required in all ASPPB jurisdictions); and
- Part 2 鈥� Skills (required in only some jurisdictions)
In 2022, ASPPB had planned to make Part 2 mandatory everywhere starting January 1, 2026. In October 2024, ASPPB paused that plan. Instead, it’s now developing an “Integrated EPPP”, a single exam combining both knowledge and skills, targeted to launch in Fall 2027.
ASPPB has confirmed the following transition timeline:
- Until the Integrated EPPP launches in Fall 2027, the current Part 1 and Part 2 exams remain available to all approved candidates.
- Once the integrated EPPP launches, first-time candidates will be required to take it; however, the current Part 1 and Part 2 exams will remain available to repeat candidates only until March 31, 2028.
- Beginning April 1, 2028, the integrated EPPP will be the only version available.
