Recertification

The new NIGP – CPP certification program is based on the Public Procurement Competency Framework. It shifts the focus from gaining knowledge to building competencies. It complements existing certifications by focusing on the full scope of your capabilities and includes technical and behavioral skills.

NIGP-CPP RECERTIFICATION

The purpose of NIGP-CPP recertification is to ensure that you remain current on best practices and trends and are committed to continuing learning. Therefore, while the Commission values volunteer leadership and service to the profession, contact hours are limited to continuing education.

Recertification Fees

  • Every three years - $125
  • Current NIGP-CPP certificants can apply for retired status and pay this one-time fee at the time of application for retired status. - $75
  • Lapsed Certification (within one year of the expiration date) - $50 in addition to regular recertification fees

Fees are subject to change.
