Certification Verification/Reprints
The credentialing certification department will verify certification status to interested persons by request. Verification of certification status does not include disclosing any confidential information. There are three status reports that may be given.
Currently Certified - certificants who are in good standing (currently certified or maintaining renewal, no disciplinary actions).
Not Currently Certified - certificants who have previously been certified but who have not maintained certification renewal. Former certificants who have documented disciplinary actions against them may also be reported as Not Currently Certified/Not in Good Standing.
Never Certified - candidates who have not successfully completed exam requirements or those persons who have not attempted to successfully completed the exam requirements.
Certificate Reprints
Reprints of valid CI-CPT certificates are available to those persons that are Currently Certified and in good standing with The Cooper Institute. Download reprint form.
The cost of each certificate reprint or duplicate copy is $20.
Concern Form Process
A Concern Form is available for two purposes:
1. For registrants, candidates, and certificants to document any concern related to the application and administration of credentialing certification policies or processes.
2. For individuals (clients, employers, interested parties) to document a concern or issue related to an individual who has earned, or who is representing themselves as having earned, a credentialing certification through The Cooper Institute.
A standardized process is followed for each Concern Form submission. The Cooper Institute Certification Board may take up to 60 days from the date of notification in which to provide a response.
