CEM® 2005 Recertification Survey Results (10/05/05 ) Current and past Certified Emergency Managers® were asked to complete a short online survey regarding recertification procedures for the Certified Emergency Manager® Program.
Survey participants were asked if they would be more likely to maintain their CEM® certification if the recertification occurred every three years rather than every five years. Respondents preferred by 77% to retain the current five-year recertification time frame.
When asked whether they would be more likely to maintain their CEM® designation if they were allowed to make up a shortfall in continuing education/training with additional professional contributions (and vice versa) via an overall application “point” system, 79% of respondents said they would support this change.
Of the participants in this survey, 43% were current CEM®s, 22% were past CEM®s, and 18% were enrolled in the CEM® Program but hadn’t yet submitted their application.
When past CEM®s were asked why they let their certification expire, 39% said the CEM® maintenance form is too complicated/cumbersome, 34% said the CEM® maintenance requirements are too difficult to meet, 33% said the CEM® $200 maintenance fee is too expensive, 22% said having the CEM® did not accomplish what they thought it would, and 14% said they had procrastinated. Of the respondents, 9% had changed careers and 9% had retired. No one said that any other certification would better meet their needs.
IAEM and the CEM® Commission thank all participants in the CEM® Survey for their input, and they want you to know that your opinions counted.
