Stay current and demonstrate your professional status by maintaining your certifications.

The CHRS and CWCP certifications are valid until December 31st of the second year after initial certification or the last recertification. For example, a CWCP earned in May of 2009 would be valid until December 31st of 2011. After recertifying in 2011, the certification would be valid until December 31st of 2013.

You may apply for recertification at any time during the year in which your certification expires. To avoid a lapse in certification, we encourage you to apply for recertification by December 1st of the year that your certification will expire.
