Maintain Your CPXP Designation
CPXP Certification is valid for three years from passing the examination or completing the most recent renewal.
- April CPXP recipients must renew by April 30, three years from examination window. (e.g., April 2025 recipients must renew by April 30, 2028)
- October CPXP recipients must renew by October 30, three years from examination window. (e.g., October 2025 recipients must renew by October 30, 2028)
To re-certify as a CPXP, professionals must complete 30 PXEs, which could include up to ten hours of relevant CEs (such as related CNE or CME approved courses) over a three-year period from the most recent certification date. PXEs must be earned between the renewal dates (e.g. November 1, 2025 - October 30, 2028), though there is no set requirement to earn a specific amount per year.
If fewer than 30 PXEs are completed, re-examination will be required to maintain CPXP certification. CPXPs will need to sit for the exam at the published fee and pass to retain their designation.
