In this "CPLP Recertification Secrets" presentation, I share... ...the CPLP recertification secrets I've created... ....and collected from other CPLP designees... ...over the past 9 years (!) From the global CPLP community featuring some of our collective strategies and best practices around: - Tips for planning professional development and career advancement (especially in 3 year cycles) - Identifying opportunities to obtain eligible CPLP recertification points - How to keep track and keep good records (in case you get audited by ATD CI) - What to do if you do get audited (by ATD CI - during a recertification cycle) This document is a supplement to the live, 2 hour "CPLP Recertification SECRETS" Webinar held in January 2015. Interested parties can contact me - Trish Uhl - directly for the "CPLP Recertification SECRETS" recording.

and notify designees via letter and email 5-6 months in advance.

application and supporting documentation of their activities
• Audited submissions must be postmarked by the recertification
deadline.
• If your documentation is not sufficient, ATD CI staff will provide
feedback via email and you will have an opportunity to correct and
resubmit (as long as you leave enough time!).
• If your documentation suffices, you will be recertified and a new
certificate will be issued.
