CPD Reinstatement Procedures

Email [email protected] to notify the department that you’ll begin the process of reinstatement.

Lapsed CPDs must supply proof of the 2.4 CEUs or 24 hours of continuing education earned since the cycle began. CPD cycles begin on May 1 and end 24 months later on April 30. This means that a former CPD credential holder must earn the 2.4 CEUs or 24 hours with proof of certificates while adhering to the requirements of CPD recertification.

Requirements are always on aspe.org/CPDRecert, but a minimum of 1.2 CEUs or 12 hours must be from ASPE, an ASPE Chapter, or an approved ASPE CEU Provider.

PLEASE NOTE: any hours earned during the reinstatement period are not eligible to be used for future recertification periods, and you’ll be required to submit an additional 2.4 CEUs or 24 hours to fulfill the recertification requirements.

Another step in completing the reinstatement procedure is composing and signing a memo stating that any hours you earned through the reinstatement process will not be used for future or current recertification periods. This memo, written to the CPD Committee, must be signed and included in your reinstatement packet.

Once you’ve compiled all 2.4 CEUs into one PDF and your signed memo, please email this to [email protected] for review and processing. You will be notified within 10 business days of the status of your reinstatement packet and if further information is requested of you. If your reinstatement packet has been accepted, any hours earned through ASPE will be back-dated so you won’t be eligible to use those credit hours in the future for recertification purposes.

How can you easily earn CEUs to fulfill the 1.2 CEUs minimum from ASPE, an ASPE Chapter, or an approved ASPE CEU Provider? ASPE hosts live webinars and also has an extensive list of archived webinars in our catalogue, many of which are free to ASPE members. ASPE offers a new Read, Learn, Earn article every month where you can earn 0.1 CEUs, which are FREE to ASPE members ($35 to nonmembers). (Find out more about becoming a member or renewing your ASPE membership at https://aspe.org/membership-global-community/join/.) Also, approved ASPE CEU providers offer dozens of courses that would meet the requirements.
