Certification Renewal and Upgrade Requests
CPSP/CPSA Certifications are valid for three (3) years and can be renewed twice (2x). After two (2) renewals (nine [9] years since initial certification) an individual must recertify by retaking and passing the Certification Exam. Please note that certification terms and requirements vary by state, and that state terms and requirements may differ from the PSAI's, so please check with your local regulator to ensure you are compliant with their standards.
How to Renew
You will need 6 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) from industry-related trainings within the past three years to renew your credential. These trainings could include, but are not limited to, PSAI Virtual Roundtables, PSAI Trainings, PSAI Nuts & Bolts Conference, PSAI Trade Show, and other industry educational programs. To do this, you will be asked to submit a list of your CEHs as well as a renewal request. Upon transcript review, CEH approval, and payment of appropriate fees, the PSAI will issue a new certificate with your new expiration date.
