Recertification for CPO-CD® and ICD® Master Trainers
Recertification is required every three years for Certified Professional Organizers in Chronic Disorganization® (CPO–CD®) and ICD® Master Trainers to remain current.
To maintain their CPO-CD, graduates must participate in twenty-seven (27) hours of continuing education in the field of Chronic Disorganization. A portion of the education requirements (nine hours) may be replaced by volunteer service to ICD or the population affected by CD.
To maintain their ICD Master Trainer designation, graduates must participate in eighteen (18) hours of continuing education in the field of Chronic Disorganization, plus demonstrate leadership in the community. More information is provided in the links below.
Graduates may recertify at the highest level of their ICD credentials or below. A subscriber choosing to recertify below their highest level must repeat any higher levels to regain the credential.
Qualifying Continuing Education
Qualifying continuing education may include:
- ICD® Classes
- ICD Conference sessions
- Education forums on topics relevant to the population affected by Chronic Disorganization
