Steps to Renewing Your Credential

Below are the steps involved in the process of renewing your credential.
                         

Certification Renewal Process

• Collect certificates or proof of completion for all CCE credits.  
• Ensure your documentation includes:
  • Number of hours or CCE credits (1 hour = 1 CCE credit)
  • Category (Core Competencies and/or Resource Development)
• Keep your documentation in case your application is audited. You do not need to upload it during submission.

Helpful Tip: Enter your CCE credits as you earn them.  They will be saved to your application, so you can return later to add more!

• Log into your ICF Profile.
• Locate and access your Credential Renewal Application.

• Once complete, click the blue "Submit Application" button to pay and submit your application for review.

Helpful Tip: You can submit your renewal application up to 10 months early - giving extra time to collect credits for your next renewal!

• You will receive an email when your renewal has been submitted.  
• If selected for audit, you will receive an email with directions.
  • If documentation is missing, return to your application and upload it promptly.
• If  necessary, you will receive an email to let you know if there are any issues with your renewal.

Helpful Tip: Responding quickly to requests for additional information or clarification will keep your application review time to a minimum.

• Once approved, you’ll receive an email confirming your renewal and next renewal date..
• Save a copy of your updated credential certificate for your records.
