ATTENTION CMPPS: NEW EXTENDED CERTIFICATION CYCLE!

Beginning in 2022, all new and recertifying CMPP credentials will be valid for 5 years, or on a 5-year certification cycle! The current 3-year certification cycle has been extended to a 5-year cycle for CMPPs with a 2022 expiration date and future certifying or recertifying CMPPS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT CMPPs with an expiry of 2021 or earlier must still recertify on their expiration date. CMPPs who certify/recertify in 2022 and beyond will have their next cycle expire in 5 years, as shown in the table below.

The Certification Board is excited to have made this decision to:

• Ensure our cycle duration is appropriate for the nature and maturity of our industry and the rate of change that occurs (NCCA Standards)
• More closely align the cycle duration with other credentials in the healthcare industry
• Simplify the recertification process by requiring fewer exams/recertifications

Consistent with the number of credits required per year in the 3-year cycle (ie, 10), the 5-year cycle requires:

• 50 credits over the 5-year cycle
• ≥ 8 credits per year but ≤ 12 credits in the final year

Recertification Information

For those certifying or recertifying in 2022 or later, their CMPP™ certification will be valid for five years, after which, certificants must apply to recertify. 

Recertification can be accomplished in one of two ways:

• Retake the CMPP™ examination at a test center or online

• Earn 50 recertification credits over the 5-year certification period

Documentation Required For CE Activities

• For CMPPs planning to recertify via credit, you must have documentation to prove your participation for every activity for which you claim credit

• See the CMPP Documentation Requirements for Earned CE Credits Quick Guide in the Resources below for detailed information

More than 50 self-study activities are now available for CE credit! See the list of Approved CMPP™ Activities below to access them.
