Happenings & Events
Our events are really YOUR events. And, to make it easier for you to view (and attend!),
we have broken "our events" into national and regional/state categories. We also
encourage anyone to let us know of any important events and functions that you think
our community would be of benefit. Please contact us at events@recruitinglife.com.

Ways to Meet Re-Certification Requirements
Get in on Education
Education opportunities are easy to find for CPCs and CTSs. At the national level we offer
independent study courses which allow you to work at your own pace, as well as our annual
conference. Many state associations also offer conferences and seminars, where you can obtain
CEUs. In-house training programs, independent trainers and training organizations will also be
considered provided the programs are pre-approved by NAPS. The continuing education compliance
program can be met through a combination of various options.
National Conference
Each fall NAPS host its annual conference featuring a dynamic group of industry trainers and
speakers. You can earn up to 16 continuing education hours or 1.6 CEUs for confirmed attendance
at this educational event's keynote addresses, breakout sessions and roundtables. A CEU log form
will be included in the conference program notebook, which you will receive at on-site registration.
Independent Study Courses
Written by staffing industry and legal professionals, these independent study courses allow you to
work within your own environment, at your own pace. Each study course gives you the opportunity to
study and learn a specific industry topic, such as the interview process, EEOC guidelines,
recruiting on the Internet and legal relationships, just to name a few. An informational essay
is followed by a short examination, which must be completed and submitted to NAPS to qualify for
CEUs. Courses can be downloaded (below) or obtained through headquarters by calling 706.531.0060.

State Association Conferences and Seminars
Not only do your local and regional conferences, meetings and seminars give you the opportunity
to network with professional peers, you can achieve credit toward certificate maintenance. You
should request a letter or certificate from meeting organizers to include with your CEU folder.
Independent Trainers and Training Organizations
It has become industry standard to receive outside training from professional consultants and
trainers. We are prepared to review the curriculum of these independent trainers. If the
programs and methods meet NAPS standards, the trainer or training organization will be
designated an "approved NAPS continuing education provider," which allows the trainer to award
CEUs toward certificate maintenance. The trainer is responsible for issuing a letter or
certificate indicating the number of CEUs being awarded. Applications to become independent
trainers / training organizations can be downloaded or obtained by contacting
fburtnett@recruitinglife.com.
In-House Training
Certified individuals working for member or non-member firms may apply professional education
experiences offered by their employer to the certification maintenance requirement as long as
the firm has been pre-approved by NAPS as a continuing education provider. Staffing firm
applications can be downloaded or obtained by contacting
fburtnett@recruitinglife.com.
Professional Book/Audiotape Review
You can also obtain CEU credits for reading relevant professional materials or listening to
NAPS conference audiotapes. All you have to do is complete and submit a written response to a
series of discussion questions. Additional CEUs will be awarded to groups who meet and discuss
the content and implications of their book/audiotape review. A listing of national conference
tapes and periodicals, along with CEU guidelines, can be obtained from NAPS headquarters.
Other Programs of Study
CPC and CTS designees engaged in college or university courses related to the staffing industry
or professional development may seek to have their higher education activities approved by NAPS.
This will be reviewed on a case by case basis and should be done before the class is taken.
Applicants should submit a course description, agenda, program information and total class hours
to NAPS headquarters for approval.
Keeping Track of CEUs
All of your CEUs must be recorded on the CEU log sheet. Remember to submit your CEU log sheet to
NAPS, 6625 Hwy. 53 E, Suite 410-201, Dawsonville, GA 30534. Please do not submit forms or letters
separately. You may be audited so keep your backup materials in your folder.
