  Congratulations! Your decision to seek certification is important.

  To help you, AIP has prepared this registration process.  It includes the following:

  • An application for this examination and payment information, available by clicking Register

  Activity points must be turned in one week prior to the opening of the Examination Date or the examination will be cancelled and fees will be forfeited. Questions about these policies may be addressed to accrediting@aipparl.org.

  The written examination consists of three parts:

  1. Multiple-choice questions
     
  2. Short-answer questions
     
  3. Narrative scripting exercise (you are given a series of actions/activities and must demonstrate your knowledge of the correct language to achieve the result requested)
     

  Important information:

  • Each part is taken separately. Once completed, you cannot return to a prior part of the exam. 
    
  • A short break of up to 15 minutes is permitted between parts. 
    
  • The exam must be taken in one sitting.
    
  • There is a one-hour time limit for each section.
    
  • Retakes of individual sections are not permitted.
    
  • Activity points are reviewed by the Accrediting Department; additional documentation may be required. 
    

  The Accrediting Department determines whether the requirements for certification have been met. You may not use the “Certified Parliamentarian” or “CP” designations until you have been officially notified of your certification.

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

  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 atrctivities 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.
