Important Message from NPMA Certification Governing Board

A Message from the NPMA Certification Governing Board

The NPMA Certification Governing Board made a recent policy change regarding certification renewals, effective immediately. For those renewal applicants who do NOT meet recertification criteria at their current level, there are three options available to move forward.

1. If certification is not renewed, the applicant will no longer be an NPMA Certified Property/Fleet Professional. The certification mark will no longer be authorized for use.

2. Successfully retest at the current level, thus extending the expiration date an additional 5 years.

3. The applicant may choose to reduce their credential to the next LOWER level where renewal requirements are met. For example, a current CPPM does not meet the renewal criteria at the CPPM level, but does meet the CPPA renewal criteria. The applicant may choose to renew their certification at the CPPA level. In order to move back up to the CPPM level, successful testing at that level is required.

Certification is a part of your career. The decision to be certified, and the level of certification is ultimately, your choice. As you would with your career; nourish, develop and keep your credentials on track. Let us know how we can help. Contact
certification@npma.org if you have any questions.
