Maintain your certification with our latest, most convenient training solutions
To maintain your status as a Certified Instructor, you’re required to attend a Renewal Training facilitated by CPI every two years (your renewal cycle begins on the day of original certification).
By re-examining course content from the perspective of an active Certified Instructor, a renewal course offers you the opportunity to gain new training insights and develop an even deeper understanding for the program’s core concepts.
