    RECERTIFICATION CREDIT HOURS

    Due to the significant disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are temporarily reducing the number of continuing education credits required for recertification to 14 credits. This reduction applies to recertifications that are due in December 2021.

    This program has been approved for 14 continuing education credit hours towards our Professional Development Program recertification, which will fulfill the two-year credit hour requirement needed for recertification.
