Maintaining your DRI International certification carries two requirements: An annual maintenance fee as well as Continuing Education Activity Points (CEAPs).

Certified Functional Continuity Professional (CFCP), Certified Business Continuity Auditor (CBCA & CBCLA), Certified Business Continuity Professional (CBCP), Master Business Continuity Professional (MBCP), Certified Public Sector Continuity Professional (CPSCP), Certified Healthcare Provider Continuity Professional (CHPCP): payment of an annual maintenance fee and the accumulation of continuity educational and involvement in the business continuity community every two calendar years.

Individuals certified as Associate Business Continuity Professionals (ABCP), Certified Business Continuity Vendors (CBCV) or registered at a certification level as a Retired (Ret.) constituent simply need to remit the annual certification maintenance fee. Maintenance fees are billed in early fall and due by January 1 each year.

To submit recertification activities online, login to your DRI account and click on the “Submit CEAPs” green button in your Dashboard view. A link to the Guidelines – Points Schedule document is included for reference purposes under the first drop down menu. Even through the submissions are online, you are required to maintain proper documentation should the documentation be requested during the audit process. Be sure to review the FAQs page to answer any questions you may have. Remember, record and report your CEAPs. (You’ll need the activity’s reference number from the Guidelines).
