  1. Re-CertificationNeed to Know By Robert Hairston, C.P.M.

  2. How long is my certification valid for? • If you were able to document 18 years of applicable experience when you first applied for your C.P.M. or A.P.P. you should have received a Lifetime Certification or Accreditation. This means your certification will never expire. If you documented less than 18 years of experience your certification will be valid for 5 years from the date you were certified or accredited

  3. * Onsite, paper testing is available when 50 or more modules are given. Contact the ISM Sales Department for more information.

  4. Maintaining Certification • The process for maintaining your certification is called 'recertification' or 'reaccreditation'. It requires a completed application with backup documentation showing that you have met the specific program requirements. • In order to recertify your C.P.M. you will need to document 12 C.P.M. points earned during your current certification period. 12 C.P.M. points are equal to 84 continuing education hours (CEHs). • In order to reaccredit your A.P.P. you will need to earn 42 continuing education hours earned during your current accreditation period. • If you have both the C.P.M. and A.P.P. you can use the same CEHs toward both programs' recertification requirements provided that the education took place during the current certification period for both.

  5. Earning C.P.M. points or Continuing Education Hours (CEHs)? • There are several ways to earn CEHs. Once way is to retake a module or modules of the Exam. • C.P.M. candidates can retake Module 3 and/or 4 of the Exam. • A.P.P. candidates can retake any one of the four modules. • Each module successfully passed will be work 42 CEHs (6 C.P.M. points).

  6. You can also receive CEHs for: • college courses, • attending or presenting public seminars or conferences, • business-related training provided by your employer, • correspondence courses, • publishing an article in an established purchasing or trade magazine or a refereed journal, or even • earning a certification from an ISM Allied Association. Applicable topics include, supply management, purchasing, accounting, finance, or other business related courses.

  7. All educational events must be at least one hour in length to qualify toward recertification or reaccreditation. ISM does not need to pre-approve your courses. Each candidate is required to track their own continuing education hours earned. • ISM does not require that the continuing education be taken through ISM. However, ISM does offer numerous ways to earn CEHs (ISM-sponsored seminars, conferences, online courses, and more).

  8. My certification has expired — what do I do now? • ISM provides each candidate with a one (1) year grace period to recertify or reaccredit their designation without penalty. During this grace period the individual is no longer a C.P.M. or A.P.P. ISM expects that candidates in their grace period will cease using their designation until they are recertified or reaccredited by ISM. This grace period does not lengthen your certification period - using this grace period will not change your next expiration date. Your expiration date will remain five years from when you were certified or recertified.

  9. If it has been more than one year, or if you do not postmark your recertification application within one year of the expiration date, you will be required to retake the modules of the exam. For the A.P.P. you will need to retake Modules 1 and 2. For the C.P.M. you will need to take Modules 1, 2, 3 and 4. ISM does not make exceptions to this policy.

  10. Although ISM currently sends reminder postcards approximately 1 year and 6 months prior to a candidates expiration date, it is the responsibility of each candidate to know when their certification expires. The expiration date for your certification is clearly printed on the bottom left of the certificate you received when you were certified or accredited.

  11. Is it possible to get a replacement or additional certificate from ISM? • ISM will be happy to provide a replacement or an additional certificate. If you are a lifetime C.P.M. or A.P.P. we will provide this service one time at no charge. • For all other replacement requests there is a processing fee of $25. All requests for replacement certificates must complete the form found on the Web site: http://www.ism.ws/Certification/files/ReplacementCertificate.pdf. • These requests should be faxed to 480-752-7890 or mailed to: ISM, PO Box 22160, Tempe, AZ 85285-2160.
