Credits in both categories are defined in the CCSP Program
It is the responsibility
of the CCSP to track their
credits.
Requirement
for CCSPs to obtain
continuing education
credits will begin
January 2013.
New CCSPs will
be required to earn their
continuing education credits
starting
the third dues year.
For example, if member
gets
their CCSP in 2012,
they will be required
to obtain
their continuing
education credits in 2014.
For
dues year 2014, CCSPs will
be asked
to log-on
to the CFCA website
and update their
profile
indicating that
they have completed
the required number
of continuing education
credits. By doing
so,
they are agreeing
this is subject
to audit. This will
be repeated
annually.
If a CCSP fails
to earn the required
number
of
continuing credits
within the specified
timeframe,
they will be
moved into an ‘inactive’
status
and given until
the end of
first quarter
of the following year
as a grace
period.
After the grace
period, the member
must re-take
the CCSP exam
and pay the $200 fee.
Any ‘one-off’
requests, not
covered by
the guidelines, will
be decided
on a
case-by-case
basis by the
certification
committee.
