  Annual Session

  Certified Professional Parliamentarian Application

  Application Deadline	Examination Window
  June 5, 2026	July 30 - August 1, 2026 (at Annual Session, San Diego)

  1. The AIP Accrediting Department Policies for Oral Examinations for Certified Professional Parliamentarian (click here);

  1. An application for this examination and payment information, available by clicking Register; and

  1.  An activity points calculation form, for submission with the examination application. The activity points form is viewable within the registration process and can also be found here.

  Congratulations! Your decision to seek certification is important.

  To help you, AIP has compiled this package. It includes the following:

  Certification requires more than achieving a passing score on the examination. It also requires obtaining 30 hours of activities in three categories within the parliamentary profession. All activities must be fully documented. For example, activity as an instructor will be documented with a printed program or other supporting material verifying the activity, dates, and content. If you pass the examination and have documented your 30 activity points to the satisfaction of the Accrediting Department, you will be officially notified of your certification. 

  The Accrediting Department determines whether the requirements for certification have been met. You may not use the “Certified Professional Parliamentarian” or “CPP” designations until you have been officially notified that the credential has been awarded.

  Thank you again for your interest in parliamentary certification. If you need further assistance, contact the AIP Accrediting Department at accrediting@aipparl.org.
