Yearly Membership and Re-Certification Fees:

$89 per year certified member fee for CTPS (if member has more than one iTPA certification, only 1 certified member fee applies). Please note Yearly Dues will automatically be charged to the original credit card you used for the registration 1 year later. We will send you an email 1 month before as a reminder. If at that time you choose NOT to go through with the iTPA Yearly Dues, you will immediately lose access to the iTPA Inner Circle, will not be able to use your CTPS designation and if you decide to become certified in the future must go through the process again from the start and re-take the exam.

Re-certification fee is $49 every 2 years (billed at year end - we will send out emails).
200 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Credits required every two years along with re-certification fee. Click HERE for full info on recertification fees and CPEs
