This form is for Certified Peer Specialists to either apply for recertification or apply to reinstate an expired certification.
Via Hope policy requires you complete a minimum of twenty (20) hours of continuing education to be eligible for recertification. You must submit documentation for training and events you attended and you must list them on the following form. If your CEUs are not on the pre-approved CEU list, you will need to fill out and submit a CEU Approval Form for those trainings. Once your application has been approved, you will receive an invoice for your $10.00 recertification fee. An additional $10.00 will be added for late applications for recertification. For Certified Peer Specialists wishing to reinstate their expired certification, there is a $30.00 fee required as part of the application.
Anyone selected who is unable to provide documentation will have their recertification revoked. If you are unsure of what training, conferences, and other events qualify for continuing education, refer to the Policy and Procedure manual. Please feel free email us at info@viahope.org if you have any questions about the recertification process.
