Requirements
for Maintaining Your Installer Level I Credential:
The Installer Level I credential
is awarded for a 36 month period. To maintain the active status
as an Installer Level I, prior to the conclusion of the 36
month cycle, certificants must be able to provide documentation
of completion of at least 30 contact clock hours of continuing
education units (CEU) approved by the Certification Action
Team. Certificants who do not have the required continuing
education hours must take and pass the examination within 12
months prior to the expiration date to be eligible to maintain
their certification for an additional 36 months.
Guidelines
for Communicating Your Status:
An individual who passes
the Installer Level I examination will attain the status of “CEDIA
Certified Professional, Installer Level I.” If desired,
the individual may use the abbreviated version of “Individual’s
Name, CCPI I” on his or her business cards, letterhead,
or other documentation.
Professional Certification is granted to an individual;
therefore, he or she, not the company, retains the credential
as long as he or she maintains the continuing education requirements
for CCPI I. In marketing materials and other documentation,
companies are allowed to identify that they have CEDIA Certified
Professionals on staff; however, materials should not indicate
that the company is “CEDIA Certified.” When promoting
your achievement, please refer to the CEDIA
Professional Certification Policy and Procedure Manual for
typography and logo use specifics.
