Requirements for Maintaining Your Installer II Credential:
The Installer Level II credential is awarded for a 36 month period. To maintain the active status as an Installer Level II, 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 II examination will attain the status of “CEDIA Certified Professional, Installer Level II.” If desired, the individual may use the abbreviated version of “Individual’s Name, CCPI II” 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 II. 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. |
