Receritification is only required once every three years. Renew your CDP® or CDE® credentials when you submit 60 continuing education credits and pay the $50 fee. You have a one (1) year grace period once your credentials expire.

If more than 365 days have passed since your credentials lapsed, the fee is $250. Designees will not have to retest but you must submit another Candidate Project and pay the $250 fee in order to recertify.
