Setting Up a Recertification Program

The process for setting up an Application Program, Certification Program, and Recertification Program is the same. After you add the basic program information, the Program Profile will contain all of the relevant information, including the program code, program description, designation earned after completing the program, and certification term.

The Recertification Program Profile child form tabs allow you to add Fees, Notes, and associate Exam Events and Course Sessions with the program. You can also Enroll Customers into a program from the Recertification Program Profile.

To set up a Recertification Program:

1. Hover over the Certification module icon to expand the Certification fly-out menu.
2. Hover over the Certification Programs group item to display the list of available actions.
3. Click the Add Certification Program hyperlink. This will open the Certification Program Information page.

4. Expand the Merchant Account drop-down menu and select the Merchant Account this Recertification Program will be tied to.
5. Enter the Program Code.
6. Expand the Program Type drop-down menu and select the Recertification option.

10. Enter the number of months they have to finish the application process in the Term in Months field.
11. If a designation will be award upon completion of the application program, select the Award Designation check box and enter the acronym for the designation in the Program Designation field.
