Your CTPS designation must be renewed every three years. Renewal is based on an accumulation of points or by re-application and re-examination.

Renewal Fees
For each three-year period, there is a renewal fee of $95 for members and $295 for nonmembers. This fee must be paid when the renewal form or re-examination application is submitted.

Renewal Points
To retain the CTPS credential, you must accumulate 30 credits of continuing education, professional development or other areas such as leadership, instruction, or writing every three years and submit a completed CTPS renewal report form. Points for renewal can be earned starting from the date appearing on the CTPS certificate for the first renewal or from the date of the last renewal, whichever is applicable.
