OPSEC Certified Professional (OCP) - Recertification
Process
Overview
The principal purpose of the OCP program is to establish and maintain
a standard of professionalism among OPSEC practitioners. To remain certified,
an OCP must accumulate nine (9) professional credits during each three
year period following initial certification.
Professional credits for maintaining certification can be accumulated
anytime during the three year period following certification or recertification,
however, the nine (9) credits must be reported to OPS Headquarters before
July 1 of the year recertification is due.
This will serve as the annual notice to all OCPs reminding them of the
recertification requirement. Each OCP must submit a recertification maintenance
credit report at the end of each three-year period after OCP certification/recertification
(attached). Credit reports received will be reviewed. A recertification
fee of $30.00 should accompany credit reports which will be reviewed by
the recertification panel. OCP's will be notified of approval and a certificate
issued or
presented at an OPSEC society function.
