Step 3 - The recertification candidate presents documents to Practitioner Community for peer review.  Once approved, the Practitioner Community Liaison (or other member representative) signs the Recertification Summary Document verifying re-certification status and then emails final signed document to the re-certification candidate. 

Step 4 - The recertification candidate files a Notice of Decision - Recertification

• Go to: Notice of Decision - Certification.  Upload the signed Recertification Summary Document (in PDF format) 
• Pay the $150 fee.  

Following the requisite submission of documentation and fees, the CSCPF Operations Team will prepare and mail new certificate to the Practitioner Community Liaison for signature and presentation to recertified member.
