Recertification Requirements
In order to insure they remain current in their profession, ISPs must periodically recertify.
- Candidates must recertify every three years by the last day of the month in which the candidate originally became certified.
- Six (6) recertification credits are required for certification.
- All requests for credits to be used for recertification will be adjudicated by NCMS.
- Some or all of your activities may qualify for credit under more than one professional certification.
- No more than 50% of the claimed recertification credits can come from Membership and Voluntary Service activities. At least 50% of the credits must come from Educational Programs and Courses, Instruction, Speeches, and Other Presentations, or Publications.
- The same activity may not be counted under more than one category. (For example, a presentation originally given orally cannot be published and counted both as a presentation and as a published article.)
- Documentation to support claimed recertification credits is required.
