IMPORTANT NOTICE: Certification Timeframe Change
Effective June 1, 2020, the certification period for Certified Asthma Educators will be 5 years after taking and passing the certification exam. The NAECB board recently approved this change in the certification timeframe from the current 7 years to 5 years to ensure that certificants stay current with rapidly evolving research, technology and pharmaceutical options for managing asthma. Candidates who take and pass the examination prior to June 1, 2020, will maintain their certification for 7 years. Anyone taking the examination after that date will maintain their certification for 5 years. The timeframe for candidates recertifying by CEUs remains unchanged at 5 years.
