Recertification

To provide greater flexibility, we are transitioning from a fixed December 31st renewal date to an anniversary-style renewal date.

This change means that your certification renewal date will now be based on the anniversary of when you initially earned your certification.

We understand that transitioning to this new system may require some adjustments. Therefore, we are providing additional time to recertify in order to accommodate these changes.

As an example, if you obtained your initial certification on August 1, 2023, your new renewal date will be August 1, 2027, instead of December 31, 2026.  After this initial renewal, you will continue with our standard three-year renewal cycle, making your subsequent renewal date August 1, 2030.

The date will be available in the new certification portal and will be clearly stated for you in your program details.

You can earn your 60 points at any time during your recertification window. The final steps to complete your recertification -- the agreement and paying the renewal fee -- will become available 90 days before your certification expires.

No. Your renewal window will only become available 90 days prior to your certification expiring. For example, if your certification expires on August 1, 2027, you will not be able to pay your renewal until May 2nd, 2027 at the earliest.

You will receive a notification once your renewal window becomes available.

No, your renewal date will always be on your anniversary 3 years from the previous renewal.

Yes, up to 20 points earned in excess of the 60 points required may be credited to the next renewal period.
