Certification Renewal Process for Those Who Became Certified During the Pilot Testing Phase
Practitioners who were certified during
the NACP Pilot Testing Program will receive special consideration
depending on whether they completed the abbreviated pilot testing
application process or the full pilot testing application process (which
included submission of the long version of the supervisor assessment,
complete application form, electronic portfolio, and survey forms).
- All certificates issued during the Pilot
Testing Program will be replaced by new certificates sometime during
2008. The new certificates
will list CYCCB as the issuing authority and will include a
certificate number. The
issue dates will remain the same.
The new certificate will be the one that will be renewed.
It will be listed under your name with a unique certificate
number. There is no charge
for this conversion. The
original certificates demonstrate that you were one of the
practitioners who helped to move the profession forward as national
certification was created.
CYCCB encourages you to display the certificate and take pride in
your contribution.
Certification could not have been developed without your support.
- Practitioners who completed the abbreviated
pilot testing application process qualify for a 3-year renew
period (for their first renewal cycle, only).
The requirements for renewal were changed following the pilot
testing effort. The extended
renewal period is CYCCB’s way of honoring the commitment made to
pilot testing practitioners while standardizing the overall
certification system over time.
After the initial 3-year renewal, all certificates will be
renewed on a 2-year cycle.
All pilot testing certificates were issued between 2/1/2007 and
3/1/2008.
Between 2/1/2008 and
3/1/2009 (first year of certification) – no renewal activity is
required. CYCCB is using this period to grant you the extra year in the
cycle.
Between 2/1/2009 and
3/1/2010 (second year of certification) – all pilot testing certificates
will be required to submit payment of $15.00 maintenance fee (the due
date can be computed by adding 2 years to the issue date on the
certificate).
Between 2/1/2010 and 3/1/2011 (third year of certification) – all pilot testing certificates will be required to:
1. Submit payment of $35.00 renewal processing fee made payable to CYCCB.
2.
Documentation of 30 hours of continuing education (15 hours each
year) that occurred within the previous 2 year period that reflect
content in at least 3 competency domains.
3.
Documentation of current membership in a professional
organization within the field of child and youth care.
4.
Practitioners who completed the full pilot testing application
process (which included submission of the long version of the
supervisor assessment,
complete application form, electronic portfolio, and survey forms)
qualify for a 6-year renew
period (for their first renewal cycle, only).
To qualify for this extended renewal period, you should have
submitted the 3 survey forms.
If you have not received a letter from NACP or CYCCB informing
you that the 6-year
renewal has been granted, please contact the CYCCB office.
Some participants in this program did not submit the survey
forms. These can still be
submitted and must be submitted before the 6-year renewal will be
granted.
After the initial 6-year
renewal, all certificates will be renewed on a 2-year cycle.
All pilot testing certificates were issued between 2/1/2007 and
3/1/2008.
Between 2/1/2013 and
3/1/2014 – all pilot testing certificates will be required to:
1. Submit payment of $50.00 renewal processing fee made payable to CYCCB.
2.
Documentation of 30 hours of continuing education (15 hours each
year) that occurred during the previous two year period and that reflect
content in at least 3 competency domains.
3.
Documentation of current membership in a professional
organization within the field of child and youth care.
