IMSLEC Individual Certification for Course Graduates - FAQ

What proof of CE hours do I need to provide?

• Applicants who graduated within the last year from their course will not have to upload proof CE hours.
• Applicants who graduated more than a year ago will have to upload proof of 10 CE hours / year since they graduated (for up to 2 years).
• Applicants who graduated more than 2 years ago must also upload a certificate of good standing / current certification from their course or a certification body (such as ALTA, CERI, etc.) in addition to the CE hours mentioned above.
• Audits will be performed on a randomized selection of applications with CE hours.

Please refer to IMSLEC's Continuing Education Policy. The CE Forms link on that page includes a list of approved sponsors, books, and journals.

What would prevent my certification application from being approved?

If you follow the process and requirements, your application should be approved. If you did not graduate from an IMSLEC accredited program, you cannot be certified. If your program has not submitted their Verification of Completion of IMSLEC Course Content and Principles of Instruction, you will not be able to apply. Failure to submit any of the required documention or submit your payment will prevent us from approving your application.

How long does this typically take?

The application should take you less than 30 minutes to fill out. It may take slightly longer for applicants who have to add proof of CE hours.

The application process typically takes only a few days. Since your Course Director will need to review and approve your application, please be patient.
