CCE/CCC Recertification
Do I have to recertify?
Individuals holding CCC/CCE, CEP, CFCC, EVP, and PSP certifications must recertify every 3 years from the date of their original certification. AACE's certification office will notify you about the impending expiration of your certification(s) and provide the materials to recertify. It is your responsibility to ensure that the recertification application is submitted on time and with the proper documentation.A Certified Cost Technician (CCT) cannot recertify because the program is intended to provide an initial vehicle to becoming certified under another AACE certification during a 5 year period. Once the CCT period is over, a CCT should work towards becoming certified as CCC/CCE, CEP, CFCC, EVP, or PSP.
Why do I have to recertify?
Recertification is required to assure that AACE certified individuals are competent with new and current developments within their field.How do I recertify?
You have two options - the Professional Credit Plan or recertification by examination.- The Professional Credit Plan is the most popular choice for recertification. It requires the accumulation of 15 recertification points over a 3 year period. Points are earned by being employed in the cost and management profession, actively participating in a local AACE section, presenting and/or publishing papers, and earning continuing education credits by attending authorized seminars and classes like AACE's Annual Meeting or seminars or taking AACE's Distance Learning courses.
- Recertification by reexamination requires you to pass the certification examination every 3 years. (The professional paper is not required for the CCC/CCE or the CFCC for recertification. However, you must pass the examination, including any written portions, for any recertification by examination.)
