IRCEP Fees

As international quality assurance review process offered by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, IRCEP is solely supported by the fees paid by programs wishing to become registered as approved programs.  Because IRCEP’s review process must operate within the parameters of US non profit organization requirements, every effort is made to be fiscally responsible and to provide a responsive quality service to the educational programs that apply for the Registry.   Fees may be adjusted from time to time to assure that a quality review process can be maintained.  It is important to note, however, than none of the members of the IRCEP Steering Committee or the CACREP Board of Directors receive any monetary compensation for the service that they provide to IRCEP.  They only receive reimbursement for the periodic meetings they attend. 

The following fees apply to the IRCEP review and registry process:

Application Fee

The application fee must be paid when the application is submitted to IRCEP for review.  If more than three (3) months lapses between receipt of the application fee and the arrival of the application documents, the program will be required to submit an additional application fee.  No application will be reviewed until the application fee has been received.

Annual Sustaining Fee

The annual sustaining fee is due on January 31st of every year.  Approved programs will receive an electronic invoice at least 3 months prior to the due date.  Failure to pay this fee by the due date will result in the assessment of a late fee equal to ½ the cost of the original fee. Once a late fee is assessed, failure to pay the original fee and late fee by the date provided with the late fee notice will result in immediate withdrawal of the program’s listing on the Registry.
