The Educational Institute established its first certification program over 20 years ago, and today our prestigious certification and recognition programs are acknowledged and esteemed worldwide.

The categories for which points are awarded include:

A candidate may elect to sit for the examination to earn their recertification in lieu of the points system. The candidate must achieve a minimum score of 75% on the CHA/CLM and CLSD exams, and 70% on all other exams in order to recertify.
The recertification fee is $100.00. Candidates who recertify are required to remit payment, complete a maintenance activity form, submit all supporting documentation, and sign the maintenance agreement - agreeing to all terms.
