Maintaining Professional Certification
| |
|
You must renew your certification with ASMC
every two years. To do this, you must complete 80 hours of Continuing
Professional Education (CPE) in every two year period following
the issuance of your certification. The anniversary date for
measuring the CPE qualification is two years from the date your
CDFM certification is issued. One unit of CPE is awarded for
each 50 minutes of contact time engaged in activities listed
below. You may be asked, as part of the renewal, to provide evidence
of your CPE. Renewal cost is $20.00 and is charged biennially. |
| |
|
Renewal is a personal responsibility. If your certificate is over two years old (date on the certificate) you should fill out the
Renewal Coupon
and mail it to the CDFM staff at ASMC Headquarters. |
| |
|
You will not receive an additional
notice saying that your payment has been received. Your canceled check or credit card statement is your
receipt. |
