CCLS exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The Child Life Certification Examination (CCLS) is administered by the Child Life Certification Commission (CLCC), the certifying body of the Association of Child Life Professionals (ACLP). Registration is a two-step process: first, a one-time $80 Eligibility Assessment confirms you meet the academic and clinical requirements — a bachelor's degree or higher, ACLP-endorsed child life coursework (or an ACLP-endorsed academic program), and a 600-hour supervised clinical internship. Once eligibility is approved, you register for the exam itself; exam fees are commonly reported at $300 for ACLP members and $450 for non-members, though CLCC's own live fee table is rendered dynamically and wasn't independently re-confirmed here beyond that consistent secondary sourcing. The exam is computer-based — 150 multiple-choice questions over 4 hours — delivered through ISO Quality Testing (IQT)'s network of over 300 testing centers worldwide. Passing candidates are certified for a 5-year cycle, contingent on paying an annual certification-maintenance fee for the first four years, with recertification due in year five (either by retaking the exam or accruing Professional Development Units).
