1-Year Purchase
Over the course of a one (1) year purchase, certificants will have the opportunity to earn over six (6) recertification points via:
- 0.1 point per Journal Quiz, with 41 available, for 4.1 points total
- 0.25 point per KSA, with five (5) available, for 1.25 points total
- A set of 1-point and 0.5-point Challenge Tests, for 1.5 points total
A total of up to 6.85 recertification points may be earned in one (1) year or up to 34.25 recertification points during a five (5) year recertification cycle. All points will be automatically entered into your CMS recertification worksheet within 24 hours of being earned.
Recertification points are earned from the beginning of certificants’ recertification cycles through the cycle end date of June 30. The recertification worksheet, accounting for points earned during that time period, is to be submitted by July 31 following the recertification cycle’s June 30 end date. Points earned in the July 1-31 time period after the cycle end date are applied to the following recertification cycle, which begins July 1 and runs five years until the certification’s next June 30 recertification cycle end date.
Full details on the process of recertification can be found on the
Recertification web page.
Purchases will have a total of three (3) attempts to pass each individual course. After a third attempt, or first successful attempt, the course will no longer be accessible. You must pass with 80% or higher to achieve the applicable points.
