Annual Renewal

IBFCSM uses an online Certification Management System (CMS). The system tracks the status of annual renewals using a five-year certification cycle. Each credential holder  must create an account with the system. This action enables credential holders to receive email reminders about required certification actions. Certificants can access their accounts to update personal information and download current certificates from their account.  The Annual Renewal process requires individuals to login to their account to make online secure credit card payments or to enter notes about third party or personal check payments. Credentialing standards require that each credential be managed separately from other certifications.  This action ensures accuracy of all certification information.
