Recertification Application

With the cancellation of in-person professional development events, conferences, and training events due to COVID-19 during 2020 and into 2021, the VSI Certification Committee has voted to offer an additional year of valid certification to the individuals certified in 2019.

Individuals certified in the spring of 2019 will now apply for recertification in the fall of 2023.

Applicants will be able to apply for recertification by paper or online in 2023! For more information, see the tab on the right, or email [email protected].
