The New CCB Recertification Program
 
Question: Does the new recertification program meet IC&RC standards?
Answer: Yes. IC&RC requires that individuals complete ongoing training annually to maintain their credentials. As long as you complete the CCB renewal process for 1, 2 or 3 years and ensure your credential remains active, your IC&RC certificate(s) will remain active.
 
Question: If I hold multiple credentials, can I choose different renewal periods for each of my credentials?
Answer: Yes. You can also choose to move your renewal dates to coincide with other CCB credentials (contact the CCB office for details).
 
Question: If I can't afford to pay my renewal fees, can I make multiple payments to pay my fees?
Answer: Yes. All CCB fees can be paid through payment plans. For more info, contact the CCB office for details.
 
Question: What if I have only enough training hours to complete a 1 year renewal?
Answer: If you only have sufficient training to meet the standards for a 1 year renewal, you can renew for 1 year and in the future you can choose to renew for additonal years if you meet the standards.
 
Question: Did the recertifiation fees increase under the new program?
Answer: Yes. Due to funding challenges and economic conditions outside of the control of the CCB, several CCB fees have been increased. However, every effort is being made to keep CCB fees as low as possible during these challenging economic times. If you need financial assistance to maintain your CCB credential, please contact the CCB office.
