CPLP Recertification

It was only this past April, 2006 that the first -- ever -- individuals were awarded the CPLP credential and many are already planning for the future.

To keep the credential, you must recertify every three (3) years.

What is the CPLP recertification process?

The CPLP recertification is a self-reporting system that is based on professional development. Professional development is hours spent on continuing education, on-the-job experience, speaking & instructing, research & publishing, leadership & recognition, and professional membership.

All CPLP recertification points must tie directly to one or more areas of the 2004 ASTD Competency Model to qualify.

Tip! Attendance at many of the events hosted by the local ASTD chapters qualify as recertification points! You could earn points toward keeping your certification just by attending chaper events. You can also earn points by speaking at chapter events. This is true as long as the event ties directly to one or more of the areas listed in the 2004 Competency Model.

ASTD CI is working on a standard worksheet for CPLPs to keep track of their recertification hours and activities. That worksheet should be available late in 2006.
