including the standards upon which it relies, ACCB believes a three-year
recertification cycle is appropriate.
CERTIFICATION HANDBOOK CHB001
@COPYRIGHT_ACCB-Private and Confidential Page | 23
b) Introduction
In a profession that regularly undergoes change; the importance of certification is
growing rapidly. The purpose of this program is to ensure that those who are
actively certified maintain a level of professional knowledge and skill, that is
consistent with the standards according to which certification was initially
conferred.
Certification is only as valuable as the standard it represents, if the standard is
maintained. Recertification programs are extremely important because they require
holders of the credential to present evidence that they are maintaining the
established standard. This, in turn, enables certification to retain meaning and value
for every individual who achieves it, particularly as the years pass after the
credential is issued.
