Certified Hospitality Sales Professional (CHSP) Recertification Fee

Certifications are valid for 5 years. Upon purchase of this recertification fee, you will get access to the recertification application in your online account. Complete the application and submit all supporting documentation before the 5-year expiration. Candidates who apply for recertification beyond the 5-year mark will be subject to a processing fee.

This recertification will remain available in your account for one year from purchase. If the recertification application is not activated after one year of purchase, it will expire. Once activated, the application must be completed within 6 months.

Once recertified, a new certificate will be available under the Certificates/Results tab on your Learning and Exams dashboard.

The hospitality industry constantly changes, so hospitality professionals must continually advance their knowledge and skills. For this reason, certification designees hold their certification for only five years.

During the next five years, the designee must:

• Maintain their qualifying position within the industry
• Earn points by fulfilling activity requirements

Points are earned for:

• Professional experience
• Professional development activities/seminars
• Industry-related involvement
• Educational services
• Online courses
• Attendance at industry-affiliated tradeshows, conferences, or conventions

Other ways to earn recertification points include:

• Complete any AHLEI hospitality management course online. They provide five points toward the recertification total.
• Earn points for attending any industry-affiliated tradeshow, conference, or convention.
