WorldatWork Society Recertification Credits
Keeping your WorldatWork designation(s) current is achieved by earning 12 credits every three years. To keep your WorldatWork credential(s) current, you must accrue a total of 12 recertification credits every 3 years. If you have earned two or more designations, you only need to complete the recertification credits for one to keep them all current. These credits are earned through a variety of professional development activities focusing on compensation, benefits and total rewards.
To help you keep track of recertification credits, after achieving a designation be sure to fill out the Recertification Application Form. This form must be completed showing all recertification credits earned before being recertified. To simplify this process, many of WorldatWork activities that offer recertification credits will be automatically added to your application if you participate.
