As a result of IBCLC feedback, the CE Self-Assessment transition plan has been modified to clarify the recertification by CERPS with CE-Self Assessment requirements. IBCLCs are required to earn a minimum number of their CERPs based on the results of their Personalised Professional Development Plan (PPDP):
- For IBCLCs due to recertify in 2023: if you have one or more required topic areas identified in the PPDP, you are required to earn a minimum of three (3) CERPs in each of those topic areas,
- For IBCLCs due to recertify in 2024 and beyond: if you have one or more required topic areas identified in the PPDP, you are required to earn a minimum of five (5) CERPs in each of those topic areas, OR
- If you have no required topic areas identified in the PPDP, you can earn CERPs based on your career path, practice setting, or interest areas in alignment with the Detailed Content Outline (DCO).
The requirements to recertify by CERPs are summarized below:
