Note from the Certification Coordinator

Let’s talk about CCDS recertification…again

By Penny Richards

Twice this week, I’ve had people contact me who are late recertifying—unaware that their ACDIS dues don’t cover the cost of their recertification. In one case, the individual was only a few months overdue and will be able to successfully recertify.

In the other instance, the individual certified in 2010 and never recertified. The individual was not pleased to learn she has been classified as expired for a number of years and must take the exam again to re-earn her certification.

I know we’ve been over the recertification process before, but I can’t say these things enough.
