Certification Maintenance

Protect Your Investment

Certification programs with maintenance requirements are far more valuable than those without.

Protect your investment by tracking and reporting your activities at “sharpening the saw” to keep your skills current and effective.

Our certification maintenance program rewards you for accomplishments in three categories:

Continuing Education
Improvement Projects
Giving Back

For each certification, you need to build a total of 150 points every 5 years. You need at least 50 points in each of the three categories, with a maximum of 5 occurrences for each item.

Our maintenance program has three easy steps you can complete by using the form below:

Indicate what you did to maintain your skills over the last 5 years
Provide your name and email so we can update the records and send you a new certificate
Pay the $75.00 fee via credit card

Your updated certification will be valid for 5 years.
