How do I transfer credits to the program?

Is there a test-out option?

How do I maintain my certification?
Once you’ve earned the CCUV designation, it remains current for three years.

To maintain your certification, participants are required to complete 20 credits every three years. (Credits must include each of the five categories, but there is no minimum for any.) Credits for maintaining certification may be from Level 1 training, Level 2 training, or a combination of the two.

Every year, you will receive an annual certification status notification via e-mail.

Are there any learning activities?
Many learning activities will be offered on an ongoing basis. Some credit options through the schools and conferences will change regularly.
