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 in Washington State or in another IC&RC jurisdiction and who are now interested in applying to regain their CPP or Certified Prevention Specialist 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 current fee and documentation required in the Recertification Application, specifically: 

​​

• Recertification Application Form Revised04022020 (PDF)

• Code of Ethical Conduct for Prevention Professionals

• Criminal History Background Check

• Recertification Application: Continuing Education/Clock Hours Form. (For more information, also refer to Guidelines for Acceptable Trainings.)

• Please go to the Pay Online page to pay your fee.

 

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