Be sure to fulfill all requirements to maintain your certification, including an active membership and completing the required continuing professional education every year. Each certification requires eight (8) continuing professional education (CPE) credits every year.

All continuing education for OCEG certifications is automatically tracked and administered under a unified program on our website. Whenever you watch a video or attend an event on our website, it is automatically tracked and counted toward your certifications as appropriate.

The unified program allows you to track one CPE credit to multiple certifications. So, for example, a course on “Risk Assessments” would count toward not only GRCP, but also several other certifications that rely on Risk Assessment skills.

All CPEs are included for no additional fees.

You may apply to gain additional certifications. We add new certifications regularly and are open to any suggestions via support@oceg.org.
