  •   Staying current with CX best practices and industry trends
  •   Continuous learning and professional development
  •   Maintaining the high standards of the CCXP credential

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend starting to accumulate credits immediately after certification. You can submit your application up to 365 days before your expiration date. Most CCXPs spread their credit activities throughout the three year period rather than waiting until the end.
One credit equals one hour of structured learning or professional development activity related to customer experience. This includes attending conferences, webinars, workshops, completing online courses, reading CX books, writing articles, speaking at events, or volunteering for CX organizations.
Keep certificates of completion, receipts, attendance confirmations, or screenshots for all activities. For self-directed learning, maintain a log with dates, topics, and time spent. You'll need to provide this documentation when submitting your application.
If your certification expires, you enter a six-month grace period. During this time, you can still recertify by paying both the recertification fee and a late fee. After six months, your certification becomes inactive and you must retake the CCXP exam to regain your credential.
No, credits cannot be carried over to the next certification cycle. Each three year period requires 30 new credits. However, activities completed up to the day of your expiration date can be applied to your current recertification.
CXPA offers an Emergency Fund for CCXPs experiencing financial hardship due to job loss or other circumstances. Contact the CCXP Program Director at ccxpsupport@cxpaglobal.org to learn more about available assistance.
