Looking for ways to gain those required recertification points? Attending the annual Certification Conference mentioned above is one excellent way to earn points. You could also consider attending two other annual international events, the Professional Education Conference (PEC) and the International Convention and Education Forum.

 

The Certification Conference and PEC normally offer 12-16 recertification points; and an average for Convention would be 10 points, depending on which education sessions you attend (and you can earn even more if you attend the pre- and post- convention sessions).

 

 In addition, you may gain points by attending chapter educational programs (make sure your chapter program chair or certification chair is submitting those programs to the Certification Department ahead of time so they can give you a recertification certificate). You can also earn credits by attending educational courses provided by your employer, by seminar companies such as National Seminars, and by attending courses provided by your local college or academic institution. Remember, to qualify for recertification points, the course content needs to relate to the categories tested on the CPS and CAP exams and each educational course must be at least one-hour in length. 

 

 

Additional information on the recertification process is available in the

Recertification Brochure.
