National Certification (TM) 2025
Wednesday, January 1, 2025 12:00 AM - Wednesday, December 31, 2025 12:00 AM (EST)
Description
SSWAA Members are able to apply for National Certification TM through a self-paced portfolio process. Applicants should complete the process in one year.
National Certification will be good for three years, with a re-certification process required at that time.
To maintain National Certification, holders are expected to keep active membership status at the full or premiere level with SSWAA and fulfill ongoing CE requirements in their applicable state.
Because National Certification is an ongoing, self-paced process, refunds are not available. Individuals can apply for an extension but must provide a rationale as to why it was not completed within one year. A committee will review the request and decide if the extension has been approved. If the extension is denied, there is an appeal process that could be followed.
NOTICE REGARDING NCSSW COURSE TIMELINE: **Effective February 8, 2024, NCSSW has transitioned to a Cohort model. While you may register for NCSSW at any time during the year, we kindly request that payment be made only after receiving approval and an emailed payment invoice.
