Because the environment in which the certified
professional functions is so dynamic, it is vital that ICCP certificate
holders remain current in the field. The ICCP designation is valid
through the end of the third year following certification. Please
note: that ACPs, CBIPs, CDMPs, CCPs, and ISAs once certified commence
paying their annual certified member dues, and are invoiced
annually at the beginning of each year. The ICCP holder must renew
their certificate through ongoing professional development before
the end of the third year, and again during each succeeding three
year period. ACPs and ISAs annual dues are $35 and they are required
to submit 60 hours of acceptable professional development over
a three year period. All other are required to pay annual dues
of $75 and submit 120 hours of acceptable professional development
over a three year period.
The ICCP Recertification Program has three
major goals:
- Maintain professional competence;
- Update existing knowledge and skills;
- Attain additional knowledge and skills.
Certification renewal may be accomplished
through various kinds of professional development:
- By expanding your certification Specialties
with new examinations;
- Through re-examination in your existing
area of expertise;
- By participating in educational and other
professional activities.
120 contact hours of appropriate activities
during the three year period will renew your certification. Full
or partial renewal credit can be earned by adding additional Specialties
to an ICCP certificate. Credit may also be earned by submitting
thoughtful new questions to the ICCP for possible inclusion in
the examination question pools. For more information about submitting
questions read the Item Writers Guide: click here.
Reinstating your certification
should it lapse:
A policy has been authorized to allow a lapsed CCP credential
to be reinstated. This procedure includes a repayment of deficient
annual dues, at a varying rate up to a capped amount and verification
that you've maintained the currency of your knowledge at the certified
level. If you were unable to maintain the currency for whatever
reason, one way to demonstrate the currency of your knowledge
is to retake the examinations. Please contact the ICCP office
to access a discounted rate for recertification using this process.

Retired (or planning retirement?), Unemployed
or Underemployed?
If you have retired or are planning for retirement,
please note that you are able to continue to hold your certification
on a retired status. You have to request a change in the recertification
procedure (and its requirements).
For those of you who are facing financial difficulties
through unemployment or underemployment, the ICCP Office is able
to work out a lower cost of recertification for you until you
regain full-time employment.
In both cases above, please contact the ICCP office
by email (office@iccp.org) or by telephone 800-843-8227.

Development credit, any courses taken from Learning
