CVE/CWA/CCAA Continuing Education

To maintain certification, CVEs, CWAs, and CCAAs must renew their certification every 5 years via continuing education (CE).

The continuing education requirement mandates that 80 hours of continuing education must be completed within the current five-year period. Certified individuals must:

  1. Complete the renewal application received approximately four months prior to the valid-through date on their certificate.
  2. Provide documentation indicating completion of 80 clock hours of approved CE.
  3. Ensure all CE activities for certification renewal fall within designated Focus Areas outlined in the CVE/CWA/CCAA Criteria for Certification Renewal and Continuing Education manual.
  4. Send completed renewal application, continuing education documentation, and non-refundable fees to CRCC.
  5. Include customer number and certification held on ALL correspondence.


Please refer to specific information regarding CE criteria, documentation, and submission as detailed in the CVE/CWA/CCAA Criteria for Certification Renewal and Continuing Education.

  • CRCC reviews and qualifies all CVE/CWA/CCAA continuing education submissions for approval and accumulation towards certification renewal.

CVE/CWA/CCAA Pre-Approved Continuing Education

CRCC has a process whereby CE providers may obtain pre-approval from CRCC of their training program(s). Such pre-approved CE programs save time and money as they require less paperwork and no submission fee.

CVE/CWA/CCAA Continuing Education (CE) Providers with Pre-Approved Programs is a list of providers that offer one or more programs that have been reviewed and approved by CRCC as qualifying for CVE/CWA/CCAA CE credit. The list is provided in Excel format so it may be easily sorted by provider, method of instruction, etc. The list also includes provider contact information - phone number and/or website URL.

Please note that providers on this list may also offer programs that are NOT pre-approved for CVE/CWA/CCAA CE credit, but may qualify on a post-approval basis (see below). Submission for post-approval CE requires an additional form as well as a processing fee. CVEs/CWAs/CCAAs should contact providers directly for program details and to verify pre-approval status for their designation.

CVE/CWA/CCAA Post-Approval of Continuing Education

CRCC will also approve continuing education activities for CVEs/CWAs/CCAAs on a post-attendance basis. Such post-approval programs require an additional form and processing fee. To secure CRCC approval after a program has been completed, or post-approval CE, the following application along with documentation of the activity and a $15 fee per program must be submitted to CRCC for review.
