The Florida Certified Recovery Peer Specialist Exam is applied for and taken through the Florida Certification Board. This course allows those preparing for the exam to practice their test-taking skills in the domains that the state exam covers: Advocacy, Mentoring, Professional Responsibility, and Recovery Support. Much of the state exam and the National Certified Peer Specialist (NCPS) exam will overlap as they both cover the basic tenets of peer support. However, the NCPS exam will cover the navigation and general knowledge of Health Care Systems and will focus only on Mental Health (not substance use). You should be aware of federal laws that pertain to peer support for both the state and national exam. The national exam, however, will not cover state laws.
