"[Preparing for the certification exam] is like a breath of fresh air.  You learn why it is we do what we do.  Having knowledge of the regulations that support your daily decisions is really empowering.  This is a tough job, and feeling confident that you are making good decisions reduces some of the pressure." —Kim Davis, CIP

Recertification

To maintain certification as an IRB professional, a CIP must recertify every three (3) years from the time of most recent certification. Recertification may always be achieved by re-taking and passing the CIP examination. However, CIPs also have the option to recertify by completing a continuing education requirement provided that the expiring certification was by examination. Continuing education may only be used as a basis for recertification once in a six-year period.

For more detailed information, please download the Recertification Guidelines for Certified IRB Professionals or visit the Professional Testing Corporation’s CIP webpage.
