The Value of Recertification

How much would you pay for effectiveness? Or confidence? Or to be viewed as a highly competent professional? Or to get a new job with more responsibility?


The Institute for Diversity Certification (IDC)® seeks to make certification affordable, especially compared to "certificate" programs. This helps more people achieve qualification credentials and ensures cost isn't a barrier to effectiveness, confidence, or competence.


However, the emphasis of IDC's certification program is on the value that our credentials bring to an employer's bottom line and their ability to help you and your organization deliver inclusive excellence at work.

Description of Recertification Fees and Policies

Recertification:

  • Once certified, your credentials are valid for three (3) years. Designees may recertify with 20 continuing education credits each three (3) year period (60 total) along with a $50 recertification fee. Pay the recertification fee.
  • Effective February 14, 2023, if a certification lapses more than one (1) year, designees will not have to retest but you must submit another Candidate Project and pay a $250 fee in order to recertify. Pay the expired recertification fee.
