Recertification criteria was established and approved by the NADE Executive Board of Directors at the 2001 national training conference in Austin, Texas.  Certifications are good for a three year period.  This process is designed to place emphasis on NADE’s commitment to ensuring that members who are certified continue to remain current and up to date on the latest developments in their profession.  The recertification criteria:

1) Disability Examiners and Medical Consultants will be required to obtain 25 continuing education credits within a three year period.

2) Support Professionals will be required to obtain 15 continuing education credits within a three year period.

3) ALL training related to professional development will be eligible for continuing education credits.  One hour of training will equal one CE credit.

4) The certified Examiner, Medical Consultant, or Support Professional must be a full member in good standing of NADE, and will subscribe to the NADE Code of Ethics.

Upon receipt of sufficient documentation that the individual meets all of the above stipulated requirements, a certificate will be printed and issued.  The review of submitted credentials and issuance of the certificates will require several weeks time.

The recertification application is available from the Professional Development Committee Chairperson.
