How to Recertify

 

2020 5 Year CLS Recertification AND 2015 10 Year Certification

Your current certification is good for five years. It will expire on December 31, 2025, for  those who originally certified in 2015 and 2020.
 

Recertification Options

  1. CERTIFY AS AN IBCLC (no fee)

    If you have become an IBCLC since you became a  CLS, just submit the Recertification Form to let us know the year and your IBCLC number for our files, and nothing else needs to be  done!

     
  2. RETAKE THE CLS COURSE  (only the course fee)

    If you have retaken or plan to retake the CLS course since  your initial certification,  submit the Recertification Form to let  us know the year and city where you retook or will retake the exam.

     
  3. ACQUIRE 25 L or E (or a combination of both) CERPs ($175)

    CERPs (Continuing Education  Recognition Points) are awarded to programs by the IBLCE, and this is the  continuing education you must submit to use this option. If  you have accrued 25 or more L (Lactation) or E (Ethics) CERPs (or a combination of  both), submit the Recertification Form and pay the  $175 fee by check or Paypal
     
  4. TAKE THE HOME RECERTIFICATION EXAM  ($175)

    If you prefer to recertify by short answer (not multiple choice), 50 question exam, submit the Recertification Form and pay the $175 fee by check or Paypal. After the fee is received, the exam will be emailed to you. You will then have one (1) week to complete the exam and email it back. A score of 75% or better is required to pass. You can use textbooks or other  written information to take the exam, however we request you do not talk to  anyone else about the test.  
     

ALL requests to take the CLS recertification exam MUST be submitted to LEC NO LATER than December

15, 2025. Recertification via CERPs MUST be submitted to LEC NO LATER than December 22, 2025. A late fee will apply after December 22. Nothing will be accepted after December 31.  If you are taking the exam, you MUST request it no later than December 15, as it has to be completed and back to the office no later than December 31. If you do not recertify by December 31, 2025, you will have to retake the CLS course again.

If you have any questions, please don't  hesitate to contact office@lactationeducation.com
