Planning to renew your RBPD Specialist Membership for the first time since the new approval pathways launched on July 1, 2024?
If so, please remember that your first renewal application under the updated pathways will not be treated as a traditional renewal—it will follow the new approval process, similar to applying for the first time. Be sure to visit our RBPD Specialist Membership page to review the updated RBPD Endorsement criteria and make sure you meet all requirements before applying.

Application Approved – Now what?

Once approved, your new endorsement period will be based on the type(s) of endorsement granted and will begin on the date you receive your Approval Notification email from Achieve.

Be sure to download and save the document attached to the email – it contains important, personalized information:

• Your endorsement approval dates
• A Renewal requirement checklist
• Your RBPD Documentation Form, which you should:
  • Begin using right away to track your professional development hours
  • Submit it with your next application (just one form per endorsement renewal)

Have you already been approved for one or more RBPD Specialist endorsements after July 1, 2024?

If so, you are already approved under one of the new pathways.

Please refer to your Approval Notification email to review the details of your approval and download your RBPD Documentation Form. Use this form to track your professional development hours for your next renewal.
