Why recertify? What’s in it for me?
As we all know, Industrial Security Professionals are dedicated to protecting our country, our warfighters, and our companies. As economic times change, we are doing more with less. Therefore, it is more important than ever to be prepared to handle a larger workload with a smaller staff and maintain the competitive edge. The ISP® certification enables us to stand out in a crowd, it demonstrates that we are experts in our field and that we are prepared to provide the leadership, direction, and inspiration to sustain a successful/compliant security program for our company and country.

Top 4 reasons to recertify:
- An ISP® Certification demonstrates a foundation of knowledge and expertise that includes areas of discipline that directly contribute to keeping our warfighters safe and secure.
- A company with an ISP or a company with ISP®s on its security staff is in a stronger position when competing for contracts. The Certification provides a competitive edge for proposal submissions, bid awards, company awards, and professional recognition in the security arena.
- An ISP® Certification demonstrates a high degree of professionalism and the willingness to go the extra mile to develop professionally. It also builds self-confidence!
- Being an ISP® certifies that the individual has the requisite knowledge of the NISPOM and other related directives used by security professionals on a daily basis.
Online Application:
Pulling together your supporting documentation is easy! As you earn your CEUs, you may record the events and upload the required documentation into the repository immediately!
No need to wait! You may begin uploading your documentation as soon as you are recertified.
Remember…
- ISP®s must recertify every three years by the last day of the month in which the individual originally became certified. Applications cannot be submitted earlier than six months prior to the deadline.
- Only CEUs earned during your current recertification period may be used.
- Sixty CEUs are required for recertification.
- All requests for credits to be used for recertification will be adjudicated by the NCMS ISP® Committee.
- Some or all of your activities may qualify for credit under more than one professional certification.
- A maximum of 50% of the claimed recertification credits can come from Membership and Voluntary Service activities. At least 50% of the credits must come from Educational Programs and Courses; Instruction, Speeches, and Other Presentations; or Publications.
- The same activity may not be counted under more than one category. (For example, a presentation originally given orally cannot be published and counted both as a presentation and as a published article.)
- Attach all documentation to support claimed CEUs. Not including the required documentation will only delay your recertification from being processed.
- Agendas that verify the training schedule must be included with all certificates of attendance in order to verify the number of CEUs to be awarded.
- Only industrial security-related training and education and professional development may be counted towards recertification.
