RPG Professional Certifications

The RPGP Certifications require multiple training sessions, supervisor and peer-review works, and validated hands-on experience.
One or more Final Exams must be passed in addition to all of the other prerequisites for each certificate before an RPGP candidate receives full certification.
Each certification is valid for 5 years as long as the practitioner maintains their annual background checks. They can keep their existing certification longer than 5 years if they attend and accumulate sufficient CEUs appropriate to their level of certification during that 5 year period, showing continuing update of their knowledge and skills. There is an annual renewal fee for certificate renewal every 5 years.

All certifications must be kept current through:

  • Annual Background Checks: Annual verified criminal background checks

  • CEUs: Sufficient Continuing Education Units CEUs during every 5-year period

  • Fees: Paying certification renewal fee every 5 years (or reinstatement fees for lapsed certifications, in addition to any other reinstatement requirements)

RPG Professional Diplomas

The RPGP Diplomas are an accumulation of met requirements, including multiple certifications, multiple Authentications, and other requirements. These do not expire, however the associated certifications (highest one achieved) do require annual background checks and 5-year renewal requirements as with all certifications. Diplomas are major milestones and proof of extensive training, knowledge, and applicable experience that has life-long benefits.
