Important Certification Renewal Information!
- Certification Announcement:
Implementation of new technology at AAFCS headquarters will make it possible for CFCS professionals to both pay their certification renewal fees and report PDUs online this year. The certification renewal notices will be mailed out towards the end of August and are due October 1st, 2011. Thanks to each CFCS professional for sharing our excitement about these new services and for understanding that this year's schedule adjustment is a good trade-off for the new technology benefits.
- Those who meet the eligibility criteria and have
requested a change to the "Retired" category for their
CFCS credential are no longer required to report PDUs to maintain
their certification.
- For those whose 3-year certification cycle ends
this year and who have not previously reported a total of 75 PDUs
for this 3-year cycle, PDU Reporting Forms, showing the remainder
of the required PDUs, are also due postmarked or submitted electronically
by the due date. A reporting form will be included with the renewal
notice; the form and helpful information can be accessed at the
links below:
- CFCS professionals are asked to submit a hard copy
PDU report only once during the 3-year cycle; this can be at any
point when there are a total of 75 PDUs to report. PDUs can be reported
online incrementally at your convenience.
