Active certificants may choose to recertify by submitting a Recertification Journal which contains at least 120 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. Report your CPE credits using the online Customer Service Portal Recertification Journal. The old paper based journals are no longer allowed.
Login to the portal and click on My Certifications to see a list of your current certifications and their expiration dates. Click on the Recertification Journal link to review and record your CPE credits. You can continue returning to the portal and recording CPE for the entire 3 year period that your current certification is active. However, once your current certification expires, you will no longer be able to enter CPE or submit the journal and your certification will be officially expired. So make sure you submit the journal BEFORE the expiration date listed in the portal.
You must submit the completed list of journal entries and pay the $100 processing fee BEFORE the expiration deadline in order to initiate the recertification process. You can submit the journal as early as you like to be certified for 3 more years. You don't get reset or lose time by submitting early (e.g. You submit a journal 8/1/2008 for the 1/1/2009 CSTE expiration. Your CSTE will be extended 3 more years to 1/1/2012).
Earning the required 120 CPE credits every three years, or an average of 40 CPE credits per year, is typically not difficult for professionals working in the field. Although CPE credits can be earned and reported in any combination, most Journal Items concentrate on traditional educational and professional activities.
