To maintain your CPT certification, you’ll need to renew it every two years. This will ensure employers you are continuing your education in the field.
When you need to renew, you should prepare to do it at least 14-30 days prior to your expiration date. This will help you avoid any additional reinstatement fees.
Whether you’ve been certified with National Performance Specialists or not, you can renew your CPT certification with us.
CPT Certification Renewal
Register NowProgram Includes:
In our CPT certification renewal program, you will receive study materials and practice exams, all included free. Individuals holding certifications from other certification organizations may become NPS certified, provided they meet NPS’s eligibility criteria, and successfully pass NPS’s certification exam. NPS certified phlebotomists may be eligible to renew using CEU credits. Please review the complete CEU renewal eligibility requirements in the NPS Candidate Handbook.
With our automated system, you can receive same-day certification once you complete the CEU credits. Complete the renewal program at your own pace, within one year from the day of registration. Additionally, you can complete verifications as soon as you finish the CPT renewal process.
Though renewing members won’t be required to take the full-length initial exam, you may be asked to take a short assessment after your CEUs are completed.
When a potential employer sees your NPS certification, they will know you have been through extensive aptitude evaluations. Employers have confidence in our members, and we have confidence in you.
All NPS initial & renewal certification exams are remote proctored. NPS Remote Proctoring allows you to take your certification exam from the comfort of your home. Our advanced system provides you with 3 certification exam attempts and on-demand testing so you can test anytime without scheduling or going to a testing center.
