The fee for a second attempt to renew certification is the same as the initial application - $1,150, including a $300 nonrefundable application fee. The deadline for full fee payment is January 31.
Score banking is not applicable to the renewal process. If you do not achieve renewal on your first attempt, you must submit a complete PPG in your second attempt. Unlike the initial certification process, you can't retake just the portions of your PPG that did not meet the performance standard. You may modify as little or as much of the original renewal submission as your feel necessary.
Yes, under certain circumstances. Candidates for renewal who withdraw and request a refund prior to the submission deadline for their Profile of Professional Growth (PPG) will receive a refund of the fee paid minus the initial nonrefundable $300 application fee. The request must be submitted in writing either through your account under My Profile -- Ask NBPTS to the Online Inquiry Service or by fax to ATTN: Document Management at 1-888-811-3514. Faxed requests must be signed. Requests for refunds of the full renewal fee will not be honored, regardless of the circumstances. Following the original PPG submission deadline, if you defer to the next cycle, you will no longer be eligible for a refund.
No. Candidates who applied in their eighth year of certification and are fully paid may choose to defer submission of their PPG to their final year of eligibility. Candidates who defer are not eligible for a refund.
Yes, you may. Renewal candidates who are fully paid and have another window of opportunity to pursue renewal may defer the submission of their Profile of Professional Growth (PPG) to April 30 of the next assessment cycle. Renewal candidates who wish to defer must submit a request in writing on or before the April 30 submission deadline for their first renewal opportunity.
If additional information becomes available on this deferral option, NBPTS will contact any deferred renewal candidates, and post the information on our website.
Active renewal candidates who are fully paid and have a subsequent renewal opportunity available to them may submit a written request to defer submission of their PPG to the 2011-2012 cycle. This request can be sent using of of the following methods:
