What if I don't have documentation?

As the candidate for CESP™ recertification, you are responsible for obtaining appropriate documentation showing proof that you attended events and/or training, not simply proof of registration.

The biggest thing is the documentation and it is clearly related to employment. Some events/meetings don’t provide certification of attendance, so folks can document it themselves and have their employer sign it off. Then it would count toward in-agency training (maximum of 20 credits in 3-year period).

All documentation must include proof of attendance, number of hours, relevance to content outline (description of event and/or sessions), and your information as the candidate.

Ways to obtain documentation:

Certificate from trainer/event organizer
Proof of registration plus letter from your supervisor/HR verifying attendance. These will then be counted toward in-service trainings with a maximum of 20 credits.
A list of trainings attended with a signature from your supervisor/HR. These will then be counted toward in-service trainings with a maximum of 20 credits per 3-year cycle.
- We have created a resource to outline the training(s) attended and documentation. These will then be counted toward in-service trainings with a maximum of 20 credits.
