Recertification for CPO-CD®, Communication Mentors and Master Trainers

Recertification is required every three years for CPO-CD®, Communication Mentors and Master Trainers to remain current.

To maintain their Level III CPO-CD® certification graduates must participate in twenty-seven (27) hours of continuing education in the field of Chronic Disorganization.  A portion of the education requirements (nine hours) may be replaced by volunteer service to ICD or the population affected by CD.

To maintain their Level IV Communication Mentor or Level V Master Trainer designation graduates must participate in eighteen (18) hours of continuing education in the field of Chronic Disorganization plus demonstrate leadership in the community. More information in the links below.

Graduates may recertify at the highest level of their ICD credentials or below. A subscriber choosing to recertify below their highest level must repeat any higher levels to regain the credential.

Qualifying Continuing Education

Qualifying continuing education may include:

  • ICD® classes
  • ICD® conference sessions
  • Education forums on topics relevant to the population affected by Chronic Disorganization
  • CD-relevant college classes
  • CD-relevant sessions at a related industry conference 

Tasks and education completed in the three years since the previous recertification or completion application will meet the requirements as long as they have not been used for any previous certification requirements.
