Recertification

Recertification Information

Report Recertification Credits Online with the AFP Online Recertification Resource Center

Recertification Cycle
CTP and CCM certifications are valid on three-year cycles, beginning July 1 in the year you passed the exam through June 30 of the third year. A CTP or CCM must earn a total of 36 continuing education credits within a three-year recertification cycle to maintain the CTP or CCM credential.

Reporting Year
The reporting year is the third year in a given three-year recertification cycle in which you are required to submit your credits. Recertification reporting must be completed by October 15 on the reporting year.

Calculating Credits
CTPs and CCMs evaluate their own continuing education activities and determine the appropriate number of recertifcation credits based on the program's type (refer to the Complete Recertification Guidelines). As a general rule of thumb, one recertification credit is earned for every 50 minutes of qualified continuing education for a given event. In calculating, total all minutes earned for a given activity, divide by 50 and round down. Credits are reported in whole numbers.

As an example of calculating credits, the AFP Annual Conference program has sessions of varying length. If attended sessions total 250 minutes, five recertifications credits are earned for the event.

Applicable Credits and Documentation
An educational activity that covers a topic contained in the body of knowledge, Essentials of Treasury Management, 2nd Edition, would be acceptable for continuing education credits. Refer to the chapter outline for topic areas.

Please retain documentation of attendance for two years after submitting recertification in the event of an audit. Refer to the list of acceptable documentation for more information.
