In support of CLEP’s goal of continuous professional development for logisticians throughout their careers, CLEP maintains a robust but attainable recertification program.

CLEP uses the Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 5000.66 “Defense Acquisition Workforce Education, Training, Experience, and Career Development Program” as our guidance for CLEP Defense Acquisition Life-cycle Logistics recertification requirements. This DoDI instruction is further explained in the “Defense Acquisition Workforce Program Desk Guide.” Our renewal fee is $25.00.

All CLEP certifications have a recertification requirement of eighty (80) Continuous Learning Points (CLP) every two years. Our goal is for CLEP-certified logisticians to gain a regular forty (40) hours per year CLPs. These CLPs may be earned through a range of educational opportunities including both learning and teaching events. Table one shows our guidelines for earning CLPs.
