FAQ
Q: Does the CPD requirements replace ICP’s requirement for proof of continued inspection experience or the web quiz?
A: No. The CPD hour requirement is in addition to the existing recertification requirements. For each recertification period, Certificants must also still be verified for continued inspection experience for 20% of the last 3 years. Every six years (every second recertification), Certificants must also still take and pass a short online web-quiz.
Q: What if I am a few hours shy of the required CPD hours when my certification expires?
A: Recertifications have a 90-day grace period after your certification expiration date. You may complete the remaining hours within the 90-day grace period and submit them to ICP.
Q: If I have three certifications, do I have to complete 72 CPD hours in 3 years?
No. You can apply CPD credit hours across certifications that are expiring within a 3- year recertification period. If you hold an API 510 and API 653 both recertifying in 2024, you need 8 CPD hours for each certification each year. If you take a Mechanical Integrity training course for 8 CPD hours in 2023, these 8 CPD hours can be applied to both the API 510 and API 653 for those recertification terms.
Q: Does ICP have a list of approved trainers/training courses that grant CEUs?
A: No, ICP does not have a list of approved trainers or courses. When selecting a training program, Certificants should ensure the following are met:
- Training is to be provided by a recognized party, as well as developed and delivered by qualified individuals not directly employed by the Certificants
- The subject is directly relevant to the petrochemical industry and the ICP certification (see the definition of this in Industry Related Topics)
- The training is to have clear and relevant learning objectives, and not be related to commercial marketing activity.
- For one day, or multi-day courses, there should be no more than 10 contact hours in a 24-hour period
- CEU equivalent hours should not exceed the time needed to complete the subject
- Must evaluate the participant’s knowledge through some assessment mechanism (i.e., quiz/test at the end of a module or course)
- Must provide documentation showing completion or mastery of the course (certificate or transcript)
