Document Submission

AMT does not review or accept documents unless you are selected for the Annual CCP Audit or Reactivation purposes.

Be Prepared for a Compliance Audit

AMT conducts annual audits to ensure compliance with CCP requirements. If you are randomly selected for an audit, you must provide supporting documentation for your reported CCP activities.

  • Recommendation:
    Keep all supporting documentation organized in a file so it is readily available if requested by AMT.
  • Consequences of Non-Compliance:
    Members unable to demonstrate compliance will be decertified. To regain active and certified status, they must complete the reactivation process.

Has Your Certification Lapsed?

When applying for reactivation through CCP compliance, you must:

  • Submit supporting documentation verifying participation in all stated activities, ensuring they total the required number of points.
  • Ensure all activities were completed within the past three years.

If your submitted activities do not clearly meet CCP criteria, you may be required to explain and defend why they qualify.
