recertification
Recertification occurs at the same time as your 5th Year Annual Renewal. Credential holders recertifying, must submit a recertification application that documents 5,000 hours of professional job practice and 50 clock hours of professional development activities in the recertification scope. Professional development activities can include continuing education accomplishments or documenting professional non-job related achievements such as: earning college credits, serving on professional panels, advisory board involvement, teaching, course development, consulting outside of normal job duties, and serving as a fulltime faculty member within the scope of certification. Please refer the IBFCSM Certification Handbook for additional information.
