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.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have recertified by exam with a 12/31/2020 expiration date and intend to recertify via credit in 2023, you may begin earning credits in 2021 and continue in 2022 and 2023 for your 12/31/2023 expiration.
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!
