FAQs
Membership and Certification are NOT the same thing. IGSHPA has a document on the website that provides details on membership and certification at https://igshpa.org/wp-content/uploads/Membership-and-Certification.pdf
See Answer #1.
IGSHPA has an easy way to renew both membership and AI certification. Members can renew at a discount of $75 per year, whereas, non-members are $225 per year. IGSHPA recommends renewing your membership and certification for 3 years to avoid having to submit CEUs every year.
You can renew your membership at https://igshpa.org/membership/.
Then go to Certification renewal at https://igshpa.org/certification-renewal/ to receive the discounted renewal price.
For discount on certification renewal, membership term MUST match renewal term. For example, if membership is renewed for 1 year, certification may only be renewed for one year at the discounted price.
The CEU form must be completed every time your certification is renewed. IGSHPA recommends renewing your membership and certification for 3 years to avoid having to submit CEUs every year.
