Certification Renewal Process

If you are due to renew your certification anytime soon, the following may assist making this process more simplified for you. Certified members are sent their renewal to the last address we have on file, 90 days prior to your expiration date (example - If you expire January 2003, your renewal is mailed on November 1, 2002), if it is not returned to the office, we can only assume that you received it. Although many times individuals move and neglect to inform the office. A reminder postcard is also sent out 60 days prior to the expiration date. Once you receive the renewal form, simply complete it, listing ONLY those courses that you took within the past 2 years (from the last expiration to current date - as in From January 2001 - January 2003), chronological order, stating the event (2002 AALTP Conference) with the total hours (14.5 hours) and attach the verification that you attended. Do not send much more than the hours you need, simply make certain that the certificate of attendance is 1) pre-approved or 2) that it contains all of the required areas (as in fits into the NCCAP body of knowledge topic areas, has the name, session title, speaker, speaker credentials, location, date number of hours and is signed). Your renewal must be received by your expiration date or the late fee may be applied. If you do not receive a certification renewal, you can either download one off the NCCAP website OR contact the office for a replacement renewal application. (you should know your expiration date by your existing certificate or card). Taking these simple steps will assist in processing your renewal more efficiently. NN
