A Certified Prevention Professional (CPP) who does not complete the renewal procedures required every two years will have his/her certification automatically lapse.  This section addresses the recertification process for those who individuals whose certification had lapsed and who are now interested in applying to regain their CPP credential.

Note:  This is different than the normal renewal process every two years for CPPs.

To regain certification status, the individual will be required to complete and submit the documentation required in the Recertification Application (Revised October 19, 2009), specifically: 

• Recertification Applicant Form
• Code of Ethical Conduct for Prevention Professionals
• Criminal History Background Check
• Recertification Application:  Continuing Education/Clock Hours Form

If approved, recertification is granted for a two-year period.

Please read and follow the directions carefully.  The CPP Recertification Application is provided as a Word document so you may save the document as a separate file then fill in the form fields.
