IPC Certification Renewal

IPC Certification Renewal

As part of your IPC certification renewals are required by the latest policies and procedures and differ between CIS and CIT and CSE credentials. The recertification period is every two years at which time you are required to renew your IPC certification for each program. The IPC recertification program as outlined in the latest IPC policies and procedures helps insure the competence of the certificants with ever-changing processes, specifications, terms and tools.  

IPC certification renewals taking place within a 90 day window prior to the expiration date of the existing certification shall obtain a new expiration date that is 2 years following the existing expiration date.  An extension of 90 beyond the initial 2 year IPC certification term may be requested by the IPC certification and testing body.

There are several ways to obtain your IPC certification renewal.
