What is required if an applicant fails either part of the EPPP six times?

• A. 9 hours of graduate-level coursework
• B. 45 hours of continuing education
• C. Both 9 hours of coursework and 45 hours of CE
• D. No further action required

Answer: (C)

When a applicant fails either part of the EPPP six times, the board requires a remediation plan that combines targeted coursework with ongoing professional development. The idea is to address specific knowledge gaps while also ensuring broader readiness and current professional standards through continuing education. Specifically, you must complete nine hours of graduate-level coursework in the relevant content area and forty-five hours of continuing education. This dual requirement ensures both depth in the areas where you’ve shown weaknesses and ongoing growth in general practice and ethics, before you’re eligible to retake the exam. If only one component were required, it wouldn’t fully demonstrate the necessary improvement in competence.
