Recertification

Why Recertify?

Recertification in the supervisor and management profession is a strong indicator of your passion for lifelong learning. CS and CM certification is a symbolization of the manager or supervisor’s devotion to staying relevant and up to date on the continuously evolving practices of their respective profession. As such, recertification is a requirement for CS and CM certification holders to maintain and continue using the CS or CM credential.

Recertification Process

Recertification is accomplished by meeting two requirements:

Paying Recertification Fees

Recertification fees are required annually to keep a certification current. Certificants have the option of paying fees in one, two, or three year increments.

Completing Professional Development Units

Certfiicants are required to complete management/leadership-related professional development units (PDUs) during a three year renewal period.

Professional Development Units (PDUs)

Lifelong learning and professional development are a key component of the certification and recertification process. Each CS and CM must report the appropriate Professional Development Units (PDUs) at the end of each three-year recertification period. The amount of PDUs are determined by the certification that is being maintained. To complete and submit your PDU form, please log into your account and use the link in your User Dashboard.

20 PDUs
Certified Supervisors (CS)
45 PDUs
Certified Managers (CM)

Certification Status

A Certified Supervisor’s or Certified Manager’s certification is considered to be either current, lapsed, or retired.

Current Status

A CS or CM certification will be considered current if the holder is within their first year of certification or is up-to-date concerning payment of annual recertification fees and reporting PDUs.

Lapsed Status

A CS or CM who is not up to date with annual recertification fees and the reporting of PDUs will have their certification status as lapsed. Individuals with lapsed certifications may no longer continue to use the CS or CM credential.

Certificate holders who allow their certification to lapse may bring their certification up to date by paying an $75 lapsed status fee as well as the current year’s annual fees.

Retired Status

A CS or CM who has exited the managerial workforce and retired, may also have their certification status retired as well by notifying ICPM. After notification retired CSs and CMs are relived of their recertifying obligations.

Retired supervisors and managers are still eligible to receive ICPM communications and utilize their certifying credential. Please contact ICPM at support@mail.icpm.net if you have questions regarding a retired status.
