Certification Update: Very exciting news about CCDS applications
Those applying to take the CCDS exam or recertify will no longer have to write their applications by hand. We recently got some new applications in the form of editable PDFs, which you can complete on your computer.
The new forms are now available on the ACDIS website for exams, re-exams, and for recertification. Visit the ACDIS site and go to the Certification section. Click on “How to Apply” or “Recertification,” locate the form you need, and click on the link. Or just click the appropriate a link below:
Save the form to your desktop using the format indicated at the top of each form, such as CCDS_EXAM_PRICHARDS (use your first initial and last name—the example uses my name).
Fill out the application with your information, save it again, and then email it to ccdsapp@acdis.org.
Do not provide payment information on any of the forms. Instead, click the link on the second page of the application and pay through our secure online store. If you prefer, we will call you for your credit card information. You can indicate in the body of your email that you wish a call. You may also print the completed application and mail it to us with a check.
The new process is really easy and a first step to an online certification and recertification processes.
As always, contact Penny Richards at prichards@hcpro.com if you have questions.
