There is a $100 annual fee in order to maintain approved status. These prices are per program and are nonrefundable and nontransferable. You will be invoiced once a year for your RCTP annual maintenance fee. Please pay by the due date to avoid a late fee. Unless your contact information has changed, no additional information is required.

RCTP status is valid for three (3) years and is renewable. If you would like to continue offering your program, you must reapply for approval. In order to maintain uninterrupted approval, you must submit the application at least 60 days prior to the program approval expiration date, including all required and supporting materials, and all fees and costs related to the RCTP program application.

The requirements for trainers are listed in the RCTP Policy, not all trainers are required to be CCE credential holders.

When the application review process is complete, CCE will send an email notification of the status of your application.

Please send the documentation to ccebusiness@cce-global.org. Your application will be placed back in queue for a second review when the requested documentation arrives. You will need to allow another eight (8) weeks from the date it is received. For this reason, it is best to include all required documentation with the eligibility application.
