Read Important Amended Requirement Information Below About Keeping Certification Current During 2020 and 2021

The  Corona-virus pandemic and restrictions imposed by Federal and State Governments and to protect our members, instructors and proctors we have suspended all CCP Exams and the CCP Primer Class and the T&LC has suspended the Annual Claim Spring Conference for 2020 and 2021.   Normally, Certified Claim Professionals (CCP) are required to earn 30 CE’s every three years to maintain and  keep their certification current and active.  CCP’s will be granted a waiver during 2020 and 2021 only from this requirement of earning  30 CE’s every 3 calendar years so long as the member continues to renew their membership and pay dues for and during the calendar years 2020 and 2021.
