2. Updated proof of liability insurance

3. Proof of current state or national license

4. Payment of $100 renewal fee (online payment)

Guidelines for CEs for APSATS Recertification:

Continuing education is defined as any presentation (live or recorded) that has an educational component with educational materials. For the hours to qualify as APSATS CEs, the APSATS certified professional must show one of the following:

• Receipt for the training, including # of CE hours awarded

• Copy of the presentation outline, including agenda with time

• Certificate of training completion

Please send all documentation together in one email to [email protected]. Once APSATS receives your payment and supporting documentation, you be will notified and provided with an updated certificate upon approval. This process can take a few weeks upon receipt of your completed packet.
