How do I retain my CRP® designation?

All CRP® designees need to:

1. To maintain the CRP® or SCRP® designation, you must:
   1. Accumulate a minimum of 30 continuing education (CE) credits within each 3-year recertification period by your renewal date. CE credit hours may be obtained from Worldwide ERC®-sponsored educational opportunities and courses sponsored by external organizations that have been pre-approved by Worldwide ERC®. You may earn all 30 hours from Worldwide ERC® programming if you choose.
2. Maintain membership in Worldwide ERC® annually. Membership is defined as receiving Worldwide ERC® member benefits. Membership is recognized by either being the company designated representative for the following membership types: Relocation Appraiser, Real Estate Broker, Corporate Premier, Mobility Service Company, and Relocation Management Company membership or holding the PERC™ individual membership. Please note that you must be the designated member representative for your company, does not apply to PERC™ membership. Working for a member company does not qualify you for the exam; the conditions noted above must be met.
3. If you allow your membership to lapse, your designation will be suspended, and you will not be entitled to use the “CRP” or “SCRP” initials after your name in professional correspondence, in your social media profiles or in any public medium.
4. Remit the CRP recertification renewal fee at the end of your 3-year recertification period to renew for a new 3-year cycle. (NOTE:  An invoice will be created after the first two above items are complete)
   
   Please note that you are allowed up to four and a half months beyond your expiration date to complete your CE credits, if needed, provided that your membership is current. However, the CRP® recertification renewal fee increases incrementally as a result. Therefore, it is to your advantage to complete your CE credits on or before your renewal date.
