Recertification Requirements

Your CETL certification will expire three years after the date of issue.  To remain certified, you are required to stay current in the CTO field by completing 60 hours of continuing education activities (CEAs). All activities must be tied to one or more of the ten skill areas identified in the Framework. In addition, your recertification activities must take place within your three-year certification cycle.

CEAs are calculated on a 1:1 basis (for example: 1 hour at a conference session = 1 CEA hour) unless otherwise noted below. Credit is only awarded for education-related activities (registration, exhibit hall, and meal time hours, for instance, should not be included in your calculations). CEAs may be completed in any of the following ways:

Continuing Education
Includes activities such as conferences, seminars, college courses, on-the-job professional development classes, or other educational activities.
Maximum of 60 hours

E-Learning/Online Courses

Courses in which you are given an assessment at the end of the course, and/or include college credit.
Maximum of 60 hours
Courses with no assessment or college credit (e.g., webcasts, videoconferences, podcasts).
Maximum of 20 hours

Industry-Related Certification Four (4) hours will be awarded per industry-related certification (e.g., Comp TIA, CISSP). Maximum of 12 hours

Teaching/Instruction

Instructional hours are awarded on a 1:1 basis (note: credit is only awarded for the first time the instruction is given). In addition, 3 hours will be awarded per activity for prep time.
Maximum of 30 hours


Professional Membership
Membership in an organization related to the education technology field (e.g., CoSN, ISTE, etc.).
2 hours per year, per membership

4 hours per article. Maximum of 12 hours

Volunteer/Leadership Work
Work performed outside your job related to one of the 10 skill areas (e.g., CoSN Committee, mentoring, focus group participation). One hour of work = one hour of credit.
Maximum of 20 hours

Recording Recertification Activities

Keep track of your CEAs as you complete them. You may use this recertification form or keep track of activities in whichever way you to choose.

Once you have accumulated 60 hours of activities, you may submit your application to recertify. Your activities will not be monitored or approved by CoSN until you have accumulated the required 60 hours and your application is submitted. If you have questions about a specific activity, please email us at certification@cosn.org.

Recertification Costs

The cost to recertify is $150 ($300 for nonmembers). Your recertification application must be accompanied by this fee.
