You must complete all recertification requirements, including paying the recertification fee, on or before the expiration date of your current certification. Not sure when your CPS certification expires? Check your online profile for exact dates.
- Conduct all five different types of seat checks
- Participate in at least one community event; one checkup or community workshop.
- Participate in at least six continuing education units (CEUs). As part of ongoing quality assurance, you may be randomly selected for a CEU audit. Keep proof of content and completion of CEUs handy for three months after you recertify. You can monitor your audit status in your online profile.
- Pay the recertification fee. The recertification fee is $50 for technicians. Through a grant from the New York State Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee, Ardent Solutions is pleased to offer Allegany County residents 100% off scholarships to complete their CPS Recertification process.
