Recertification

First Year Renewal

One year after your initial certification, you must pay a renewal fee to maintain your credential.  Fees vary by credential. A renewal notice will be emailed to you in advance of your renewal date. After your initial certification and first-year renewal, you will move to a two-year recertification cycle.

Recertification

MCB requires recertification every two years in order to maintain the high standards of professional practice and to ensure that certified professionals remain up-to-date in the field. You will receive an email in advance of your recertification date, directing you to complete the recertification application online. Recertification will correspond with your annual renewal date every second year.

To be recertified, you need to:

  1. Hold a current credential issued by MCB that is in good standing;
  2. Complete approved continuing education related to domains specific to your credential (including six hours in professional ethics and responsibilities). Credits must be earned within the past two-year certification period; 
  3. Complete a Recertification Application;
  4. Verify that you have reviewed, read and will uphold in your practice, the current MCB Code of Ethical Conduct specific to your credential;
  5. Verify that you have not violated the MCB Code of Ethical Conduct specific to your credential;
  6. Verify that you have practiced within the scope of all relevant statutes, rules, and standards relevant to your credential;
  7. Pay your recertification fee (can pay on either an annual or biennial basis).
