All CCN Pros must pay a renewal fee every two years as set by the CCN Pro Committee and must continue to accumulate continuing education units (CEUs) during their renewal period. The renewal notices are mailed in early November of the renewal year and the fee is due by December 31st. Some CCN Pros will renew in the odd number years, and some in the even number years, depending on when you pass your exam. CCN Pros who fail to do so will be placed on suspended status. CCN Pros on suspended status may not represent themselves as California Certified Nursery Professionals.

If the Certification Committee revokes an individual's certification for any reason, CANGC reserves the right to bar that individual permanently from re-certification.
