CCB Introduces New Recertification Program for all CCB Credentials

June 15, 2010

Wallingford, CT - The CCB is pleased to announce the development of a new recertification program for all CCB credentials which will replace the current recertification program beginning in October 2010. The new program will offer greater flexibility for certified professionals allowing individuals to choose their recertification period (1, 2 or 3 years). All credentials will have annual recertification educational standards established and an annual fee with discounts offered to those that choose to complete the recertification process for 2 or 3 years. The program was developed based upon extensive feedback offered from CCB certified professionals and a comprehensive review of the current practices of boards from around the country.

The new program will feature several improvements including:

• Greater flexibility with an optional renewal period of 1, 2 or 3 years
• Improved procedures and renewal materials
• Discounts given for 2 and 3 year renewals
• Packets mailed directly to the certified professional

The new recertification packets will be mailed at least 60 days prior to the renewal date and will include:

1. Printed recertification applications
2. Invoices for credential renewal
3. Recertification educational standards for each credential
4. Announcements, updates and offers

Information describing the new recertification program will be sent to all CCB certified professionals over the summer of 2010. The new program will apply to all individuals with a renewal date of October 1, 2010 and beyond. For more information about the new program, please visit the CCB website at www.ctcertboard.org or email info@ctcertboard.org for assistance.
