Lapsed Certification Renewal Policy
I. POLICY OVERVIEW
To accommodate individuals whose certifications have lapsed, NAAC will require the completion of CEUs based on the certification held and the length of time the certification has been expired. CEUs are required to ensure individuals remain current with changes in regulations, industry standards, and best practices that may not be covered by retaking the original certification course.
