According to Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI)'s official website, the credential gained by passing a CCI exam is active for 9–12 months. As a new registrant (credential holder), there are two types of renewal with CCI: first renewal and second/first triennial renewal.
The new registrants have to pay their first renewal before the first day of the quarter the credential was gained the following year. For instance, for those who earned their credential between April 1st and June 30th, your first renewal would be due on or before March 31st of the following year. Credentials are renewed every three years after completing the first renewal, as noted on your initial wallet card. There are no continuing education unit (CEU) requirements for the first renewal other than the submission of renewal fee (currently $165.00 USD), and a signature of compliance to the Code of Ethics.
Credential holders must meet the following requirements to maintain active credentials with CCI:
Wallet cards are given to successful registrants and expire on the date of the first renewal. After renewal, credential holders receive a new wallet card.
