| | | GCDF FAQ-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE |
| | 1. | It says on my certificate that my certification is good for 5 years. Why did I receive a renewal notice in the mail?
The GCDF credential is valid for a five-year period. GCDF credential holders must pay annual maintenance fees and earn 75 continuing education hours to recertify at the end of the 5 year period. |
| | 2. | I have been certified for 2 years and have never received a renewal notice. What should I do?
The annual billing occurs approximately 12 weeks before your certification month. (Example: If your certification date is June 24, 2006, you should receive your maintenance bill in April 2007.) If you do not receive the renewal notice by June 1, please contact CCE. |
| | 3. | Am I required to pay the annual maintenance fee to maintain my certification?
You must remit the annual maintenance fee payment by the due date to maintain your credential. If CCE does not receive payment by the due date, your certification will become inactive. If you would like your certification to become active again, you will be required to submit a reinstatement application, a $50.00 reinstatement fee, and full payment of the past due balance. |
