​Maintaining your designation as an active Certified Loss Control Professional (CLCP) is easy.

You are only required to:

  • Remit an annual payment of the $130 professional fee.
  • Complete eight (8) hours of continuing education each calendar year.

After initial certification, each CLCP is required to complete eight (8) hours of safety and/or loss control training each calendar year and remit an annual $130 professional fee to maintain CLCP status, which begins on January 1 of the year following the award of certification. For example, if a CLCP becomes certified on May 20, 2024, his or her cycle begins on January 1, 2025 — the CLCP must complete eight hours by December 31, 2025, to maintain CLCP status. Failure to complete the continuing education requirement will result in suspension of the certification. Re-instatement policies are outlined below.

Each January, NRECA will send an invoice for the professional fee and you may be randomly selected to provide proof of continuing safety education completed in the prior year. All CE information should be held until you receive notice in January.

Eligible Continuing Education Activities

You can earn CEUs in a variety of ways, including education and training activities through NRECA; attendance at professional conferences and seminars (outside of NRECA); and college level courses. CEUs are not awarded retroactively, they must be earned during the calendar year maintenance period after becoming a CLCP. CEUs above the 8 hours required to maintain your certification do not carry over from the prior year. The required CEUs must be earned each year.

The following list by no means is a comprehensive resource of the approved continuing education activities. You are welcome to explore education outside this list, but before proceeding, please vet your selection with NRECA to ensure it qualifies for CLCP Continuing Education.

1. Pursuing/Earning a Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate degree automatically recertifies you for the year.

2. Attending college/university semester courses for credit.

3. Attendance at an online or in-person seminar, event, and continuing education program:

  1. ​NRECA sponsored (for example, participating in NRECA online or in-person seminars, SMDP and CCEP programs. Attending the 2025 Safety Leadership Summit, fulfils your CEU requirement, and your credits are automatically recorded for on your membership record.)
  2. Third-Party sponsored professional development activities may qualify. Submit program agenda for review. Participation is subject to verification.

4. NRECA statewide sponsored safety related workshops. Approval of workshop agenda prior to attending is recommended.

  1. 2-day program earn up to 1.0 CEU.
  2. 1-day program earn up to .6 CEU.

Suspension/Re-Certification Guidelines

Failure to complete the annual CE requirement and pay the professional fee will result in suspension of the CLCP certification. Loss Control recipients who have been decertified may appeal for reinstatement by making a formal written request to the Certification Panel through NRECA's Loss Control Program Director. Requests will be reviewed as received. The following guidelines will be used by the panel to determine if reinstatement is appropriate:

  1. The reinstatement candidate cannot be no more than five years in arrears for continuing education and/or annual certification fees.
  2. If the decertified period is less than five years, the following are required:
    1. Continuing education documentation must be submitted illustrating the equivalent continuing education was obtained as if the candidate had current CLCP status (e.g. if the arrears period is three years, twenty-four hours [three years x eight hours per year required] of Continuing Education documentation is required). The types of Continuing Education that can be applied are outlined in the section above.
    2. The candidate must make payment for certification equivalent to the arrears period Annual Certification Pa​yments (e.g. if the arrears period is three years, the candidate must make up three years of payment at whatever the fees were during each period.
  3. If the decertified period has exceeded five years the candidate must complete the entire program to reestablish CLCP status.

These will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
