HOW TO APPLY

Complete an Application for Council Record/Certificate. Indicate on the application the application is being submitted for evaluation as a Broadly Experienced Credit & Collection Professional (BECCP). Indicate the accreditation applied for; CCP, CPC or both.

Once your eligibility for BECCP has been determined, three members of CSB will review your dossier, and make written reports to the CSB board. The CSB will reach a consensus at its next scheduled meeting as to whether or not you have demonstrated the required learning, broad-based knowledge and experience necessary. If you have done so, the CSB will either approve your application as submitted for accreditation or invite you for a personal interview to be held at a CSB subsequent meeting.

If your dossier does not demonstrate the required learning, broad-based knowledge and work experience required under the BECCP plan, you may within one (1) year, request a second review of your application after acquiring additional knowledge or experience as recommended by the CSB review board or the local jurisdiction's initial evaluation.

If the CSB review committee recommends a personal interview, such an interview is condicted by (3) three CSB members and is intended to verify the material presented in your dossier. If your interview is successful, you will receive Certification, assuming all other requirements have been met. An interview, if required, is included in the cost of the filing fee. CSB charges an additional fee of $100 if a second review of your application for accreditation occurs within one (1) year of your original application evaluation.

The CSB meets at a minimum, (3) three times per year at approximately four-month intervals.
