CCHP RECERTIFICATION INFORMATION

All CCHP designees are required to maintain their certification through continuing education opportunities offered by CHPA or similar approved organizations.  Please read below for information on recertifying the CCHP certification.

To renew:

• All candidates require a minimum of 24 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) earned in a 3-year period to recertify for the CCHP designation, and at least 12 of those credits must be obtained through CHPA activities.
• CCHPs must renew every three years. The recertification application must be received by your expiration date. You are provided a 30-day grace period past your expiration date.
• You may submit your recertification application prior to the end date of your current certification. Recertification adds three years to the close of your current certification term, so you are not penalized for renewing early.
• Candidates who do not renew by the end of the expiration and grace period of their renewal year must sit for the exam again in order to be recertified.
• The recertification fee is $165 for CHPA members and $265 for non-members. To apply for Inactive status, the fee is $100. Payment in US dollars must be included with this application.
• Recertification is for three years. Inactive status is for one year.
