It is our industry's badge of honor and reflects the professionalism and commitment to excellence of the designee. The body of knowledge mastered by the CPC includes: Business Operations, Business Ethics, and Employment Laws. Additionally, to maintain the designation, the CPC commits to 50 hours of continuing education in the industry every 3 years by attending seminars and taking courses sanctioned by NAPS.
