The Loss Prevention Foundation requires that all LPCertified certificants recertify every three years in order to retain the advanced level, LPC designation. Recertification is done either by taking the exam or by accumulating 60 Continuing Education Units over a three-year period through continuing education programs, instruction, seminars, webinars, leadership activities, research and publishing, conferences, membership in national or international professional organizations, and other qualifying programs and events as designated and approved by the Loss Prevention Foundation leadership.A successful career in retail Loss Prevention requires a continuous process of growth and learning; and the Loss Prevention Foundation is committed to the LPC’s professional development through the requirement of continuing education. Recertification demonstrates your devotion to an enduring career in Loss Prevention and a dedication to the industry by enhancing your knowledge and skills and staying abreast of improvements and current developments through continuing professional education. Failure to Recertify: LPCertified carries a commitment and a responsibility as well as a designation.

Once the certification has lapsed, the individual will be required to pass the LPC examination again to earn the designation of LPCertified. Recertification Lapse Policy for LPC Recertification occurs every three years for an LPC certificant. If the applicant has collected 60 CEU's and submitted proof to the Loss Prevention Foundation, their recertification work is done and there is no cost.
