CCEA/SCEC Recertification Application

  • Your Certified Cost Estimator/Analyst (CCEA®), Certified Parametric Practitioner (CPP) or Software Cost Estimating Certification (SCEC) may be renewed with continued professional development activities such as work experience, knowledge attainment/sharing and participation in the cost community and their associations throughout the 5-year term.

    We have adopted an audit-based system of review for much of the supporting documentation. While you don’t initially have to provide documentation for all the sections, it is highly recommended that you keep copies of these files and be prepared to provide it them, if requested.

    Complete and submit this form to report all points you have earned for the 5-year period from your date of certification. Once reviewed, ICEAA will send you a link to pay your recertification fee online or instructions on mailing alternative payments.

    Certificate holders who fail to achieve a minimum of 30 points over 5 years will be required to re-take the associated exams.

    For those who wish to retain their certification but have retired or are planning to retire from full-time employment in the cost profession, please contact iceaa@iceaaonline.org for information about the CCEA-Retired status.
