CMP Recertification Information Session

To be recertified, CMPs are required to complete a minimum of 5 hours of continuing education and earn a minimum of 60 points on the application. All points claimed must have been earned over the previous five years, since the date of CMP certification or the date of last recertification (whichever is later).

Recertification Policies and Procedures

1. Recertification applications should be filled in completely and legibly or they will be returned.
2. Complete recertification applications are due by October 15th with the $200 recertification fee.
3. Applications post marked October 16th - December 31st require an additional late fee of $50.
4. CMPs who fail to recertify by the deadline lose their CMP status and are removed from the CMP Directory.
5. All CMPs who are approved for recertification will receive written notification and a new certificate.
6. Applicants with insufficient points to recertify may submit a written appeal of the recertification results.

An applicant for CMP recertification who has been notified that he/she received insufficient points to recertify may within 30 days submit a written appeal to the CIC office. Recertification appeals will be referred to the CMP Board for further consideration and decision. An appeal of recertification review results may address the following:

• The recertification applicant may submit additional information or documentation to update the application.
• The applicant may provide further explanation of any items that were discounted by the reviewers.

CLASS:  A special two hour session beginning at 6:00p.m. will be held on how to recertify for the CMP.  In this class, we will review how to get points to recertify and how to complete the application.   There will be time set aside for questions.  Please register below if you are interested.
