Correctional Certification

We have an important announcement…

We are redesigning our corrections certification programs, and we are preparing to launch a more streamlined, member-friendly certification process.  

The new process will include:

• Meaningful and customizable certification options
• Affordable certification with member-friendly pricing
• Modernized application submission and processing
• Simplified exam administration
• Reduced turnaround time for certification

During the redesign phase, we have paused the processing of new non-healthcare certification applications. We are pausing acceptance of all CCO, CCS, CCM, and CCE applications.

NOTE:  We are still processing, and will continue to process, recertification applications for all credentials AND healthcare certification applications.

If you have a question about a non-healthcare application, please contact:
