Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP) Certification Study Resources
The Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP) credential, administered by the Compliance Certification Board (CCB) under the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE), is a recognized certification for compliance and ethics professionals. Because the exam is largely based on professional compliance work experience, an official study guide is not available; instead, CCB recommends candidates prepare through a combination of continuing education, industry events, and the free official sample question set . The exam content is organized around six core domains: Standards, Policies, and Procedures (15%); Compliance Program Oversight and Administration (17%); Communication, Education, and Training (17%); Monitoring, Auditing, and Internal Reporting Systems (17%); Investigation and Responses, Discipline and Incentives (24%); and Risk Assessment (10%) . To sit for the exam, candidates must meet work experience requirements (one year of full-time compliance experience, 1,500 hours of allied compliance experience, or completion of a CCB-accredited university certificate program) and earn 20 CCB Continuing Education Units (CEUs) in the 12 months prior to the exam, with at least 50% from live training . After passing, certified professionals must earn 40 CCB CEUs (minimum 20 live) within each two-year renewal period to maintain the credential . Preparation resources include the CCEP Candidate Handbook containing the Detailed Content Outline, SCCE Academy events, The Complete Compliance and Ethics Manual, and third-party study guides with practice questions, though candidates should note that the official exam platform experience and CCB-approved resources are the most reliable preparation tools .
