Formed in 1961, ASPPB creates the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP),
which is used by licensing boards to assess candidates for licensure and certification;

ASPPB has become a trusted partner in the career development of psychologists before
and following completion of the EPPP through its preparatory materials for the EPPP
and mobility initiatives to assist in the licensure of psychologists across jurisdictions.
