Recertification application process from the ACF national website:
Step 1: Fill out a Recertification Application.
Step 2: Provide the necessary documentation for your Continuing_Education Hours (CEHs). They must include the number of hours taken and the date it was completed. Do not send original certificates and properly secure all paperwork together.
