Dear Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC):
As a reminder, your CMPC® recertification year was 2020. The application deadline was extended to January 31, 2021 in light of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions at testing centers and safety concerns. To help meet the application requirements on-time, please review this email. You are receiving this message because we have not yet received your application.
STEPS TO RECERTIFICATION:
-
After submitting the application fee, AASP staff will notify our new testing provider, Scantron, you are eligible to sit for the exam. Online and onsite testing is now available. Approved candidates can select their modality at time of registration.
- Candidates who have waited to test until early 2021 should note that Scantron may hold scores for a few weeks while the Standard Setting Study is conducted. CMPCs who submit complete applications by January 31 will remain active status during the application review and hold-score period even if they have not received notice of passing the certification exam yet.
2. In light of the ongoing global pandemic, the Council has agreed to accept recertification applications prior to passing the exam this cycle:
-
The $50 reinstatement fee will be waived for a candidate who only needs to RETEST, but had in good faith initiated the recertification process which would now mean submitting your application fee, application materials (e.g. recertification application and CEUs), and attempting the exam before January 31, 2021.
-
If candidates do not take any action at all and do not contact AASP prior to January 31, they will need to reinstate officially, pay the $50 fee, and will move to expired status on February 1, 2021.
3. A completed application must include a Continuing Education (CE) Activity Log documenting 45 CEUs accrued during the 5-year period. The CMPC® Recertification Application and CE Activity Log are found on the Applications Form page.
-
Of the 45 CEUs, 3 credit hours are required in each: Ethics, Diversity, and Mentorship/Supervision* (*M/S only required if the CMPC® wants to maintain their listing on the Registry of Approved Mentors). A maximum of 6 Self-Directed Study hours is allowed. CE activities must correspond to the knowledge areas that are representative of the CMPC® content domains. AASP also offers CEU-eligible webinars/virtual conferences.
- Please note that as 2017 was the inaugural year of the new program, only attendance at AASP conferences 2017 - 2020 can be counted for 12 CEUs each. Like webinars, keep your conference registration emails as proof of attending
4. When you are ready to submit your final application, please compile all materials into a single PDF document and send it to [email protected].
