CREDENTIALING
Maintain/ Renew
To renew your certifications, you must first earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) by participating in continuing education and professional development activities.
Renewing Your Certifications
You can accrue CEUs to meet the renewal requirement within your three-year renewal period. For more information read the renewal bulletin.

myICC
Use myICC to track and/or enter your CEUs. Renew your certification once you've accumulated the necessary CEUs.
NOTE: The paper application requires an additional processing fee. Please email certrenewal@iccsafe.org to request.
Retain proof of all CEUs manually entered. ICC Training CEUs are automatically added to your myICC account.
ICC conducts renewal audits every month. If audited, you must provide proof of each activity submitted during the three (3) year renewal period. If proof of CEUs cannot be provided, the renewal will be voided, and your certifications will be reverted to their previous status. Renewal fees are not refundable. Proof will only be required if staff is unable to verify the activity internally.
Expired Certifications
Certifications are valid for three years. Certificates must be renewed on or before the expiration date (when they become inactive) to be current. All certifications renewed after their expiration date will incur an additional fee upon renewal.
My Certification Expired for Less than 6 years
If your certification(s) have been expired for less than six (6) years, you can still renew them on your myICC account.
My Certification Expired for More than 6 years
Individuals whose certifications have expired for more than six (6) years can reinstate their certification without the need to re-test. For Code Council-issued credentials expired for more than 6 years, you can simply log in to your myICC account to reinstate.
Reinstatement Fee is $420 for ICC Members;
$500 for Non-ICC Members.
