FAQ active registration

To safeguard the ongoing value of your title and certification, we will introduce a uniform process for all certificate holders as of 1 May 2026. Active registration will therefore become mandatory for anyone who wishes to continue using the title.

We do this through the CCLTE Certified Professional Programme and Continuing Professional Education.

• The requirement for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) starts immediately after certification;

• A minimum of 16 PE credits per year applies for active registration;

• PE credits are recorded in accordance with the CCLTE methodology;

• You pay an annual fee for the Certified Professional Programme.

You can register via the link.

As a participant, you gain access to an ongoing range of activities and benefits, including:

• Free webinars and substantive updates aligned with your certification

• Discounts on accredited courses and training

• Participation in events and meetings for certificate holders

• Support with planning and recording PE activities

• Further development of an alumni and community network

Yes. The grace period is abolished. Continuing professional education begins immediately after certification, including in the first year.

For active registration, you must obtain at least 16 PE credits per certificate each year.

PE credits you have already obtained remain valid.

If you obtain more than 16 PE credits in a calendar year, you may carry the surplus forward to the next calendar year.

For active registration, you pay an annual fee:

• €149 in 2026

• €229 per year from 2027

This fee is used to invest in quality assurance, professional offerings, digital support, and the further development of certification.

Active registration is not mandatory, but it is required if you wish to:

• keep your certification active;

• you wish to continue using your title in professional and online communications.

If you do not meet the conditions for active registration:

• you can no longer be listed in the register as actively certified;

• you may not use your title in professional and online communications;

• your certificate may be suspended or withdrawn if the PE requirements are not met.

You record your PE credits in accordance with the CCLTE methodology:

• you submit your activity through a form on the website 

• you add supporting documents where required;

• you receive a confirmation after submission;

CCLTE may review the registration and request additional information where necessary.

You can find the conditions for continuing professional education and registration in the PE handbook, which sets out all rules, activities, and assessment criteria.
