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 live remote proctored by our partner PSI. A live proctor will monitor you throughout the duration of your exam. To learn more about live remote proctoring click here.

Your advisor will monitor your progress, provide your exam results where applicable, revise your resume and assist you with job placement.
With our one-of-a-kind e-learning platform featuring intelligent automation, you will easily navigate your way through our renewal program.

*The free NPS exam preparation materials are not required to sit for the certification exam. NPS does not claim these are the best or only source of exam preparatory materials a test taker should use. Use of these materials does not guarantee a passing score on the national exam.
When you begin your CPT renewal, you will be given an NPS account that includes free study materials and unlimited practice exams. If you are eligible to renew using CEU credits, you may submit them in place of taking your certification exam. The certification exam is remotely proctored and you will be able to schedule your CPT renewal exam from your NPS account. Once your CPT exam is scheduled, you will need to follow the instructions of the live proctor to begin your exam session. Upon completion of your exam, your results will be provided to you within 1 hour.
We will provide you with a digital copy of your CPT renewal certification via email once you’ve successfully summitted your CEU credits or when you have completed and passed the exam. The digital copy of your certification is able to be printed and verified immediately.
All certified members will be verifiable by employers in the National Registry immediately upon receiving their CPT renewal certification, making it easier than ever to provide proof of certification to an employer.
When you register for online testing you are able to complete the certification process online, at your own pace.
When you complete your certification renewal by CEU credits or pass the certification exam, your national certification is instantly submitted to the national registry.
