Certification Renewal
All NCCPT certifications must be renewed every two years.
Certification Renewal Information
Renewal Requirements
- Current CPR certification.
- Payment of applicable fees.
- The accumulation of 20 continuing education units, which equates to 2.0 CEUs at a rate of one hour per 0.1 CEU.
- Submission of required forms and related documentation
Forms
Forms and other documents should be submitted to support@nccpt.com.
*Only to be used when apply for approval for a course not offered by NCCPT or ISSA. NCCPT and/or ISSA courses are automatically accepted.
CEU Guidelines
- Excess CEUs cannot be carried over to subsequent reporting periods.
- It is the sole responsibility of the certificant to document their CEU activities.
- CEUs may not be rounded up and those from a repeated course will not be accepted.
- Initial renewal applications will be accepted starting one year before the expiration date.
- CEUs earned outside the credential’s original two-year renewal cycle will not be accepted.
- Any applicant who does not meet the renewal requirements will be notified no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of their application.
- Provided the subject matter is relevant to each certification, the same CEUs may be applied towards the renewal of multiple NCCPT certifications.
- CEUs are based upon contact hours, defined as the number of clock hours spent in direct participation in a structured educational format. One (1) contact hour is equal to one (0.1) continuing education unit.
- Failure of a certificant to maintain accurate contact information could have an adverse effect on renewal, including, but not limited to a delay in renewal or non-renewal. Personal information may be updated via a certificant’s account or by contacting support@nccpt.com.
- Certificants are allowed 30 days after the certification expiration date to submit their renewal. However, a late fee will be applied, subsequent renewal dates remain fixed based on the original certification date and will not be extended, and the credential will expire after the 30-day grace period ends. Reinstatement requires purchasing and successfully completing the certification exam again.
Fees
Renewal - One certification $75. Two or more certifications $50 each*
Late Renewal - Up to 30 days after certification expiration date $25 additional fee
*Renewal fee(s) will be waived if all continuing education units used to renew the certification are those as offered by ISSA or NCCPT.
