NAAEI Designation Renewals

Congratulations! You have earned your professional designation through BAAA and NAA! Every year, you will need to submit your Continuing Education Credits (CEC’s) to NAA.

A CEC is one hour of continuing education with meals and breaks excluded. All CECs required for the renewal period must be earned the previous year. For example, for the 2023 renewal you will report CECs earned during 2022. CECs earned in 2021 will be not accepted. 

Continuing education credits are needed for all NAAEI designations that require annual renewal and are required to maintain AIME membership. This includes CAM, CALP, CAPS, CAS, and AIME. If you are unsure of the amount you need, check on your renewal invoice. Please submit the entire number of CECs required in one submission to ensure that your CECs are recorded accurately. Please note: CAMT is a lifetime credential and does not require CECs for renewal.

CEC Requirements:

• CAM - 8 CECs annually
• CALP - 5 CECs annually
• CAPS - 8 CECs annually
• CAS - 5 CECs annually
• AIME - 5 CECs annually
• CAMT - 0 CECs annually

Individuals who hold multiple NAAEI designations may use the same CECs for the renewal of all designations and AIME. The total number of CECs that you must report is indicated on your invoice.
