Keeping your certification current is important for gaining the greatest value from the time and effort you spent for your initial certification. Re-certifying demonstrates your commitment to continued growth and development, plus having your certification over several years shows employers, peers and the professional community your dedication to excellence.
AALSSC re-certification requires submission of a journal documenting activities and projects based on a point system, the points are referred to as "recertification units" or RUs. Green Belts require 175 RUs plus a documented project; Black Belts require 200 RUs and two documented projects. (Download journals for details)
How Re-certification Works
Your initial certification is valid for a period of three years. After three years you either re-certify or your certification expires; certifications always expire on the last day of month. After you successfully re-certify, your certification will be valid for another 3 years and a new certificate will be mailed to you with updated expiration date. Certified individuals must re-certify every three years to maintain their current certification.
*Note: The previous 3-phase certification policy has been replaced by the current "ongoing 3-year re-certification policy" effective immediately. There is no lifetime certification.
