Recertification
Your ISM certification is a mark of excellence and keeping it current ensures it remains a powerful differentiator in your career. Because ISM certifications are dynamic credentials, we require professionals to stay up to date with the latest developments in supply management through continuous learning.
Before applying for CPSM® recertification, you will need to earn 60 hours of approved Continuing Education Hours (CEHs).
By maintaining your certification, you demonstrate to employers and peers that you are committed to professional growth and staying relevant in a rapidly changing, globally connected market.
Note: The Associate Professional in Supply Management® (APSM®) credential is valid for five (5) years and does not require recertification.
