IACP
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Certification
Reinstatement Policy
All IACP Members are subject to the
IACP Code of Conduct. In addition, members holding certification
from the IACP's Department of Education are subject to the DOE's
certification policies.
Continued IACP Membership must be
maintained to uphold the viability of all certifications.
A lapse of membership results in
automatic revocation of a certificate. One whose membership has
lapsed is regarded as a non-member. Non-members may not hold IACP
Certification status, and are thereby not permitted the use of or the
implication of a certification issued by the IACP.
Non-members may not use their prior
certification in any manner and must remove any and all IACP
certified designations from their marketing materials, website,
biographies and advertising.
If a lapsed member wishes to reinstate
their membership, their certification status will not be
automatically reinstated. To reinstate a lapsed certificate, a
formal petition, with a non-refundable fee of $25, must be submitted
to the Department of Education within 90 days of the members' formal
membership expiration date. The member must be once again in good
standing with the IACP (paid their dues at the appropriate level of
membership), and state reasons why they should be considered for
certification reinstatement. Acceptance or denial of all petitions is
at the sole discretion of the Department of Education, and all
rulings become final. Renewing members not meeting these guidelines
may again go through the testing process as though they were a new
member.
Denied petitioners, must remove any and
all IACP certified designations from their marketing materials,
websites, biographies and advertising until or unless they have
completed the testing process successfully again.
