IAPP (UK) - How do I maintain certification?

Certified individuals may retain their designation throughout their careers by adhering to the requirements below.

Certified individuals are required to maintain their knowledge and skills in accounts payable practices through a self-certification process that includes the completion and reporting of required continuing education credits on a bi-annual basis. Submitted forms serve as signed statements that all applicable continuing education requirements have been met. IAPP members may recertify at no charge, while non-members are required to remit a recertification fee.

The initial recertification will be due the first 30th June following two years after originally passing the exam. Subsequent recertification will be due every two years on 30th June of the reporting year.

At the end of the initial certification cycle, and each subsequent two year cycle, recertification is possible for those who have completed the following:

CAPP

• Attained 40 or more continuing professional education credits.*

• Agreed to abide by the IAPP Code of Ethics.

• Paid applicable certification fees.

*Certified CAPP individuals who attain more than 40 credits in a two year cycle cannot use the additional credits earned for a subsequent two year term.

Those already certified may also retake the certification exam in order to attain recertification. Full exam fees will apply in lieu of any applicable recertification fees.
Refer to the candidate handbook for additional information about recertification.
