CEES Re-Certification
Download CEES Re-certification Application Forms
Revised July, 2010
Disclosure
Certification lasts 5 years, but in order to continue to use the CEES designation, the applicant must complete the recertification process before the expiration of the current certification, so please plan on beginning the recertification process after 4 years to allow time to attend the required course/s and reports. Should the process not be completed by the end of the certification period, the applicant must attend the Ergonomic Evaluation Certification Program (excluding the online intro portion) and submit a complete certification application package including a list of 20 completed evaluations (do not send full reports until asked).
Re-Certification Process
To be eligible for re-certification the applicant must:
1. Either attend all three in-person days of the Ergonomic Evaluation Certification Program plus part II of the Online Portion of the course (at the rate of $500) OR attend the Hardcore Ergonomic Evaluation course at $920.*
* To fulfill this requirement for recertification one of these courses must be completed no more than 18 months before the expiration of the applicants certification. PLEASE NOTE THAT COST OF COURSE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
2. Submit a complete application packet to include:
A. The re-certification application form
B. A Professional Experience Form

D. A non-refundable fee of US $200.00
E. If retaking the Ergonomic Certification Program: Submit two copies of two ergonomic evaluation reports that reflect current practice. It is highly recommended that these evaluations be performed after completion of the required refresher course. If attending the Hardcore Ergonomic Evaluation Program: If student is present during the entirety of the course and presents to the client on the last day, then the report written during the course will count toward recertification. Only the one report is necessary.
3. Distribute the three (3) Professional Reference forms to individuals who have requested ergonomic evaluation services from you. Ask these individuals to complete the form and to submit it directly to the office. Do not include the forms with your application package.
