Earning Credits
Staying Certified is Easy
Sustaining your certification requires an annual renewal fee ($130) and submitting 15 continuing education credits (CEUs) per year. Sound intimidating? CEUs can be attained in many ways, don’t have to come just from SIMA, and don’t even have to be snow-specific. Ways to earn credits include:
• Walking industry-related trade shows
• Working with a business or leadership coach
• Attending business or snow-focused seminars or webinars
• Mentoring someone in the industry
• Volunteering with SIMA
• Writing industry-related articles or giving industry or business presentations
• Attend our annual Snow & Ice Symposium, you get all 15 credits for the year!
