ASDP Re-Certification.

If you are currently a Certified member and three years have passed since the date of your ASDP exam, you must apply for an ASDP recertification. Once we approve your application and receive the nominal recertification fee, you will enjoy an extra three-year period of Re-certified status. Every six years after passing an ASDP exam, you will need to take the full training session, which is modified regularly to reflect contemporary changes within the field. The cost to re-certify is $295.00 and is required when you submit your 3 requirements.

Apply for Re-Certification

A member must enter at least three items (or evidence) indicating that you meet the requirements. One only needs to provide acceptable evidence that meets three or more requirements, but feel free to offer extra evidence via email.

“I am the VP of Supply Chain for a company that builds automation and tooling for aerospace. We recently went from being a small business to being classified as large overnight. In order to satisfy the flow down requirements of our customers, we needed to get training on how to properly establish this protocol within our organization. This class was very helpful in getting us on the way.”

“I am so thankful my organization values our Small Business Diversity program and encouraged us to take this course! I could not have asked for a better learning experience! I have been a designated Small Business Liaison Officer for seven years now and there was a great mix of refresher material and new material that I don't deal with all of the time; plus, they highlighted new and upcoming changes! Best 2 1/2 days of training!!!”

“This is the most extensive, beneficial training I have attended to date as it pertains to my role as Small Business Liaison Officer. So glad I found ASDP!!”

“If you are a newly assigned Small Business Liaison Officer, or have been mandated to fulfill the Small Business Liaison Officer role, then this course is for you.

“My 4th time re-certifying. I always learn something new. The trainers are great and the subjects pertinent and well presented. Great networking options, as well.”

“The classroom instruction fostered focus on the material and dialog with other students. In-depth discussions and problem solving while in a group setting was very stimulating. The instructors were seasoned practitioners with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
