About My FNGLA Certification

Renewals

All of FNGLA’s certified professionals, including FCHPs, FCLTs, FCLMTs, FCLCs and FCLDs, are required to renew their certifications every three years. In order to renew, you must earn the required number of CEUs during that three-year certification period.

FCHP, FCLMT & FCLT = 15 CEUs
FCLC & FCLD = 30 CEUs

Renewal fee is just $50 for FNGLA members and $75 for non-members. Your renewal is good for three years. Once you have earned your required CEUs, you may renew through the FNGLA office. Email certifications@fngla.org to request a certification renewal form. Mail or fax your Certification Renewal Form with your check or credit card payment to FNGLA.

How do you know when it is time to renew? A quick look at your certification number will tell you many things, including when your certification expires.

  H=FCHP, T=FCLT, M=FCLMT, C=FCLC, D=FCLD
  
• The second figure designates the month of your renewal:
  3 = March, 6 = June, 9 = September and C = December
  
• The third figure designates the year of your renewal: e.g. 0 = 2010, 1= 2011, 2 = 2012, etc.
