Maintaining Your Certification with Continuing Education
Under the Grant Administrator Certification (CE) Policy, a certified Grant Administrator must complete six continuing education credits (CECs) each year to remain in good standing. Two of the six credits must be from attending an official OCRA GA Update. The remaining credits can be earned by participation at OCRA-approved events. Grant Administrators are responsible for tracking their CECs and maintaining records of the trainings attended each year.
