In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ISMPP is extending the time for CMPPs to recertify via exam by 1 year, or until the end of 2021. This applies only to CMPPs with a certification expiry of 12/31/2020. This is a one-time extension and will not alter the certification cycle.
Therefore, if you recertify via exam in 2021 for a 2020 expiration, your next certification cycle still expires in 2023.
CMPPs who recertify via credit do not have an extended time to recertify.
Recertification Information
If you certified or recertified between 2012 - 2016, the CMPP™ certification is valid for five years (until your next recertification), after which, certificants must apply to recertify.
Starting in 2017, candidates who earn their CMPP™ certification will be valid for three years, after which, certificants must apply to recertify.
Recertification can be accomplished in one of two ways:
Retake the CMPP™ examination
Earn 50 recertification credits over the 5-year certification period or 30 certification credits over the 3-year certification period
Were you certified in 2016 or 2018? If yes, then 2021 is your year to recertify!
