What This Package Covers
Illinois requires 150 hours of criminal justice addictions education for the CCJP at the Bachelor’s degree or CRADC holder tier. CEU Matrix’s Illinois CCJP (150-hour) package covers all 150 required hours, including the required minimums across all 4 performance domains:

Important Notes
Illinois CCJP uses a 5-tier system with education and experience requirements scaled by degree level. This package is designed for the Bachelor’s degree or CRADC holder tier. Applicants at higher education or credential levels require fewer hours. Bachelor’s/CRADC holders need only the CCJP exam — no CRADC exam required at this tier. Applicants must live or work at least 51% of the time in Illinois.
Renewal Requirements
40 CEUs every 2 years: minimum 15 CEUs in criminal justice-specific topics (Category I) and 25 CEUs in performance domain knowledge and skills (Category II). CCJPs who also hold an ICB AOD counselor credential need only 10 Category I CEUs plus proof of current AOD credential.
