Prerequisites and Authorization:

The Safety Professional Certificate is a stand-alone Certificate. However, NASP/IASP's designations are designed to be achieved in a step by step building block process where each level achieved is a step toward the next higher level. Obtaining the SPC requires successful completion of 25 areas of specialization listed below.

Continuing Education Units:

(24.20) CEUs are offered for this course. As an IACET Accredited Provider, NASP offers IACET CEUs for its learning events that comply with the ANSI/IACET Continuing Education and Training Standard. CEUs will be reflected on the Certificate upon successful completion of the course and passing the exam. Partial credit or adjusted CEUs will not be awarded for individuals who do not successfully meet the criteria for achievement of CEUs.

Online Exams:

The student will take an online exam at the end of each specialist course. You must score 80% to receive a Certificate. You have two opportunities to pass each exam.

Recertification:

A refresher course and exam will be required every three (3) years. The cost of this recertification is $595. Upon completion of this Refresher course, the student does not earn CEUs. This Refresher course does not require the student to view all material to proceed to the next module. IACET does not allow NASP/IASP to issue CEUs for recertification when students may simply take the recertification exam without viewing course materials.
