Maintain certification
To maintain your CLBB in good standing, you must adhere to ICB's Professional Code of Ethics, pay an annual fee, and complete 30 credits of continuing education every three (3) years. You are allowed to carry over up to 10 credits per three-year cycle. The following list is intended to give you an idea of the types of continuing education ICB approves for post exam continuing education credit.
As you look for activities to fulfill your continuing education requirements, please remember that it is not necessary to have ICB review courses or programs that you are considering. To determine whether a course is eligible for continuing education credit, refer to the CLBB examination outline. If the program you are considering includes content that relates to the items detailed in the exam outline, it qualifies for continuing education credit.
To calculate your CE credits, divide the number of instructional minutes by 50. Fifty (50) minutes of instruction equals one (1) credit. Round up this number to the nearest quarter hour. Do not include breaks or meal functions; motivational speeches; business meetings; introductory remarks; non-guided, unstructured group discussions; or award presentations or receptions.

How do I know if an activity has received ICB approval?
Many programs list ICB continuing education credit information directly in their promotional and/ or course materials.
Check with your own internal training coordinator to determine if any internal training programs have been approved for ICB continuing education credit. ICB members who wish to submit programs to ICB for review and approval should use the Continuing Education Provider Application and submit the required information via fax or mail. The review period for all programs is approximately four weeks and you will be notified in writing of the outcome once the review is complete. The Continuing Education Provider Application is available in two formats: Word 2007 Version or PDF Form Version.
How do I document the continuing education that I have completed?Please enter your continuing education credits online by way of the password-protected "Member Services" web pages.
We suggest that you retain the original registration and completion documentation in your files in case you need to report the same information to support CE reporting you may need for other professional designations. In addition, this will ensure that you are prepared in the event that ICB should find it necessary to audit your records.
You must accumulate the designated number of CE credits every three (3) years. If you fail to earn those credits in a given three-year cycle, it may result in your membership status being suspended and/or decertification.
